AB - The study is intended to explore ways of social healing for the Sewol Ferry Disaster. The study investigates the response by the bereaved of Sewol Ferry Disaster to the social stigma of 'befitting the bereaved', which constitutes a secondary violence. With the occurrence of the Disaster, the bereaved families entered the realm of public controversy in order to investigate and reveal the truth. However, the families were forced by the social power to have attitudes that are regarded as befitting the bereaved in routinized and de-politicized terms. To be specific, the social power forced the bereaved families to have certain types of emotions, attitudes and behavior, on the one hand. It oppressed political participation by the families using such tools as anonymization, adaptation and isolation, thereby degrading their autonomy and dignity, on the other hand. Responding to this, the families of the victims refused to remain de-politicized as a strategy to find the truth. In order to fight against the routinized image of the bereaved, they took on a variety of strategies including censorship and regulation through internalization; social isolation, passing and covering; social resources strategy; and resistance and deconstruction. Such factors as victimized children, the 4.16 Family Association, and meetings with condolences-offering citizens, as well as severe insight into power, served as major power to resist and deconstruct not only the routinized but also the de-politicized image of bereaved families. In order to resolve the social branding of 'befitting the bereaved', first of all, it is necessary to see the demand for attitudes that are regarded as befitting the bereaved as a product of power games. Secondly, it is needed to guarantee the right of the bereaved to truth revealing and damage recovery. And thirdly, a transition in social awareness is necessary towards the bereaved. When these conditions are satisfied, the dignity of the bereaved, along with that of the victims, will be recovered, and social trust that has collapsed will be reconstructed, upon which the possibility of social healing will be opened and accordingly life will be recovered.
