Many idols have mourned the loss of life due to the Sewol ferry incident, and now Girls' Generation's Seohyun has spoken up about the sad situation.

Seohyun took to Twitter on April 20 and posted: 'Cried until the tears have all dried up.. Heart is already torn apart cannot imagine the amount of pain.. I hope there is no more suffering.. Even now I'm praying for a miracle. All those who died... I pray that you go to a good place.. Mourning..'

Although she is the youngest member of the 9-member girl group, Seohyun has become known for her interest in politics. She has mentioned in more than one interview that she is a fan of Ban Ki Moon, the UN Secretary-General. 

The Girls' Generation member is one of many idols who have shown support to the victims and families of the ferry incident. G-Dragon and 2PM's Chansung have also spoken out about the tragedy.

Some celebrities, including actors Jung Dong Nam and Park In Young and comedian Kim Jung Goo, have volunteered at the scene. Actor Song Seung Hun notable gave 100 million won to the rescue mission, spurring other idols like On Joo Wan to donate.

Many idol's fans, including Girls' Generation's fans, have donated funds to help the search for over 200 missing persons.

Due to the national tragedy, the Korean Entertainment industry has practically shut down. Many idols cancelled performances or delayed comebacks, while many television shows have been cancelled. Korean movie theaters have seen a drop in audiences due to the misfortune and the nation's reaction.

While there has generally been support for the decision to shut down the country's entertainment industry, some international fans find the situation difficult to understand and have voiced their opinion.

Seohyun is the first Girls' Generation member to post anything on SNS out about the situation.
