The family of the high school girl killed in May's stabbing attack in Gwangju disclosed her name and portrait to local media, saying they hoped she would be remembered as Lee Chae-won, a 17-year-old who dreamed of becoming an emergency responder, rather than as an unnamed victim. According to multiple local media reports, Lee’s father chose to reveal his daughter’s identity in the hope that her death would help prevent similar tragedies in the future. Lee was fatally stabbed at 12:10 a.m. on May
