2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami

This biography of a living person relies too much on references to primary sources. (January 2018)

During the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, Ryang was out driving when it hit. "I thought my tires had gone flat or I had driven over the curb, but the shaking continued and I saw the windows of shops shaking too," he recalled. "I knew it was a bad one and rushed home to see my wife." Ryang and his heavily pregnant wife spent the night sleeping in their car, fearful of further damage to buildings in an urban landscape that suffered severe wreckage.[5]

In the aftermath of the disaster, Ryang and his teammates made frequent visits to affected areas to lend support.[5]
