The child standing in front of the blackboard, listening to the lyrics sung by friends, covered their face and shed tears of emotion.

The poster, 'Kkumhassaem,' a teacher at an elementary school in Anyang-si, Gyeonggi Province, wrote, "(The student) is transferring. They were a quiet and diligent friend, so it was regrettable," adding, "Children are still quite awkward at expressing emotions. They learn to say things to friends through song lyrics." They continued, "I am grateful to have a friend like you. Thank you. I was happy. I loved you," and added, "Stay healthy and well."

Netizens who watched the video responded with comments such as, "It's truly pure and beautiful," "It seems like a lifelong memory for the friend transferring. So touching," "It reminds me of a friend who transferred before," "Thank you to the teacher who made this moment possible," and "Even friends I barely knew at school made me very sad when they transferred." Among these, one netizen shared, "I remember when I was in 4th grade and transferring, my friends wrote the song lyrics themselves and even prepared a play themed 'Friend Who Is Transferring' for the school festival."

They continued, "The transfer date was earlier than the school festival, so I couldn't watch the play, but my friends invited me to one of their homes, and when I opened the front door, they sang the prepared song holding sketchbooks," adding, "It was a time without cell phones, and even though 17 years have passed and I can't contact them, it remains one of the warmest memories of my life. That friend who is transferring will never forget that moment and will cherish it warmly," adding to the emotional impact.
