Ko Woo-rim, a member of the crossover group Forestella, expressed her emotion at the surviving period of Koreans' tears.

SBS's "The Story of the Day with the Tail" ("Kkokkomu") aired on the 12th is the "2011 Great East Japan Earthquake," starring Ko Woo-rim, actor Choi Jin-hyuk, and Billlie Tsuki as listeners and following the memories of the disaster that did not end even 15 years later.

When the largest earthquake in Japan's history occurred on March 11, 2011, it instantly became a disaster. The strong earthquake, which lasted about five minutes, shifted the archipelago, changed the coastline, and even shook the Earth's axis of rotation. Shortly after the road cracked and the building collapsed, a black wall of water hit the coast. This time, it was a tsunami of about 40 meters. The death toll reached 16,000 people, and about 12,000 Koreans living in East Japan at the time were also in fear.

Lisnertzky said, "I was an elementary school student at the time. I was going to go home after class, but the school told me not to go home. It's still so vivid. The news I saw then was shocking," he recalled of that day.

Ilgwang, a Korean who lived in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, prepares to work from home I've been stung. A 6-meter tsunami warning was issued, but soon a wave well over that height struck. He was swept away by the water with his wife in his arms. When I opened my eyes, I was in a gym full of water. He managed to hold on to the basketball goal post 3 meters high with his feet stuck in the rubble. There were bodies floating around, and the village disappeared. Listener Choi Jin-hyuk lamented, "I think it must have been hopeless beyond words." The children were miraculously alive, but his wife never returned.

Kyung-im, a Korean, escaped with her three children in her 33-week-old pregnancy. The husband helped evacuate the residents as a volunteer firefighter but never returned. As Choi Jin-hyuk said, "The sadness cannot be expressed in words," the disaster divided the family. Tsuki said, "At that time, there were a lot of videos on social media where tsunamis hit and people shouted, 'Save us.' It was so shocking and I wonder how scary it must have been," he said, shedding tears.

The disaster did not stop. Fuel spills and sets fire to the sea. Earthquakes, massive tsunamis, and massive fires erupted in succession just three hours after the earthquake. Lissner Go Woo-rim shared the devastation, saying, "I think it will remain a trauma that I will not forget for the rest of my life."

But even more calamity awaited. In the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunamis flocked to the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The tsunami cut off external power and flooded emergency generators, causing a "station blackout." When the cooling water stopped, the fuel rods began to melt, leading to a series of explosions from units 1 to units 3 and 4. Such nuclear accidents have led to the spread of radioactive materials, and the damage continues to this day.

Every year on March 11, at 2:46 p.m., I remember the day with a silent tribute throughout Japan. Korean survivors who were interviewed by "Kkokkomu" moved those who emphasized that sharing memories is another life-saving task. Ko Woo-rim said, "It's a familiar routine for someone, but it's a pity that it's a longing for time that someone else will never have again," and Tsuki recalled her family and loved ones, saying, "I should say I love you often, too."

"Kkokkomu" is a program that conveys one-on-one how three storytellers feel while studying on their own to their "story friends" in the most everyday space, and airs every Thursday at 10:20 p.m. on SBS.
