A heartfelt letter written by Nam Ji Hyun, a Sewol incident victim, is wringing netizens' hearts with sadness.�

On November 11, Nam Ji Hyun's older sister, Nam Seo Hyun, uploaded three pictures of handwritten letters from her deceased younger sister on Facebook with the words, "The handwritten letters that Ji Hyun wrote for me six years ago on November 11, 2009, the day before my college entrance exams." In the pictures, you can read the message of support written by Ji Hyun for her older sister to do her best.�

The message read, "Unnie, I'm writing this letter because your exams are tomorrow. Don't be nervous when you take the tests and do your best. I wasn't giving you the chocolate because I was going to give it to you with the letter but because you kept asking for it, I got annoyed. That's why I yelled at you," expressing her remorse for getting short with her sister. The letter went on, "If I could, I would give you tons of chocolate but I have no money. But my heart is filled [with love]."�

Had Ji Hyun survived, she would also be getting ready to take her college entrance exams, much like her older sister six years ago.�
