Search teams recovered two bodies on Monday... raising the official death toll now to EIGHT.
Choi Si-young starts us off.
On Monday morning local time, the South Korean search team in Hungary recovered the male body,... a man who is presumed to have been in his late 50s.
The body was found one-hundred-two kilometers south of the accident site on the Danube River.
A local resident first reported the body to police, and the South Korean search team quickly dispatched divers to recover it.
On Monday afternoon, the South Korean search team also recovered a female body, this time from the left stern of the capsized tourist boat.
The Hungarian search team first spotted the body, and the South Korean divers began their underwater operation.
"At 5:20 PM, we recovered a female body presumed to be a South Korean national."
After local police identify the female body, the two bodies will be sent to a local university for examination.
The South Korean search team are planning additional underwater searches on Tuesday, but only if Hungary gives them the greenlight at a morning meeting to discuss the logistics of the search and the potential dangers involved.
While South Korea keeps insisting the underwater searches continue, the Hungarian government is pressing to salvage the boat,... possibly as early as Wednesday and have it out of the water by Sunday.
Hungarian officials have stressed that, even if the South Korean search team make further dives on Tuesday, they will not be allowed to try and enter the sunken boat due to safety concerns.
