This study aims to explore whether the depression trajectory of Korean adults has changed due to the Sewol ferry disaster in 2014. I used piecewise latent growth curve modeling involving 9,393 individuals aged 19 and over as of 2012 who responded to CES-D questionnaire in the 7th~13th waves of the Korea Welfare Panel Survey (2012~2018). Major research findings are as follows. First, results of unconditional model showed resilience pattern that the depression trajectory temporarily increased in the 9th wave, but remained constant from the 10th wave. Second, results of conditional model with predictors, inequality in the trajectory of depression was categorized into inequality maintained (i.e., gender, education, income, chronic disease, spouse), inequality mitigated (i.e., family conflict, self-esteem), and inequality aggravated (i.e., age, volunteer experience). Third, factors that buffer the temporary increase in the level of depression caused by the Sewol ferry disaster were low age, high education, and health conditions without chronic disease for 6 months. And the higher the level of self-esteem and altruism, the more depressed by the Sewol disaster. Based on the results of the study, the implications of depression trajectory in the Korean adult before and after the Sewol ferry disaster were discussed.
