A netizen publicized a heartwarming scene from a local music store in Japan as it shared the nation’s sorrow from the Sewol ferry tragedy.
A photo posted on an online community showed a section inside the store where K-Pop albums are beached.
What grabs viewers’ attention is multiple yellow ribbon flags lined up along top shelves of the section.
The yellow ribbon is the nation’s fast-spreading image shared both on and offline by those who care for victims of the disaster.
The scene ― who took the picture remains unknown ― gives viewers a chance to appreciate the manager of the store for his/her considerate gesture to share the pain suffered by a mass of Koreans.
The netizen, who posted the picture written in Japanese as shown in the picture, doesn’t feel so far off as it does from time to time.
