"Among 33 South Koreans, seven have been rescued, a rescue operation for 19 missing is underway and seven are confirmed dead," the statement from South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs read.
The search is continuing for South Korean tourists still missing after a tour boat sank on the Danube River in Budapest.
The bodies of seven tourists were recovered and another 19 were unaccounted for after their boat collided with another vessel.
"Among 33 South Koreans, seven have been rescued, a rescue operation for 19 missing is underway and seven are confirmed dead," the statement from South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs read.
The accident happened around 10pm local time on Wednesday near Hungary's Parliament building and the Elisabeth Bridge in the centre of the city. There had been thunderstorms and heavy rain throughout the afternoon and evening before the accident.
The boat was operating a dinner cruise popular with tourists in the Hungarian capital.
Gábor Csató, the CEO of the Hungarian ambulance service, said that the current in the Danube was so strong that some people had been found many miles downstream.
Survivors were being treated in hospital for hypothermia, he said, while the search for the remaining missing people continued.
Hungarian news outlets identified the boat that sank as the Mermaid, described as one of the smaller boats in the fleet of the company that owns it. It has two decks and a capacity of 45 for sightseeing cruises.
