Two bodies found near Dokdo have been confirmed to be the vice-captain and a mechanic of the helicopter that crashed last Thursday near Korea's easternmost islets.
The Eastern Regional Coast Guard said on Sunday that it confirmed the identification of the two bodies through DNA analysis and fingerprint scanning.
The bodies have been transferred to a morgue.
Five people remain missing.
Seven people were on the chopper when it crashed into the sea.
Five of them were rescue workers attempting to airlift an injured fisherman and his companion to hospital.
