Perang Korea terjadi antara Korsel dan pasukan PBB pimpinan AS melawan Korea Utaran (Korut) dan China. Ini menewaskan 1-2 juta orang, termasuk 160.000 tentara Seoul. Menemukan jenazah mereka adalah tugas yang mendesak dan emosional karena sebagian besar kerabat yang berduka sudah tua atau sudah meninggal. (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon)

Pekerjaan pemulihan diperumit oleh fakta bahwa banyak tentara Korsel dikirim ke garis depan tanpa identitas militer. Pihak berwenang juga tidak menyimpan sebagian besar catatan gigi tentara, rontgen dada, dan bentuk identitas lainnya. (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon)
