The remains were laid to rest at national cemeteries in Seoul and Daejeon after nearly two decades of recovery work. Five soldiers were buried in Seoul and two in Daejeon, in line with family wishes. Four were lower-ranking soldiers and three were non-commissioned officers.
The remains were recovered between 2007 and 2025.
DNA comparisons with surviving family members confirmed their identities, the Army said.
