Four bodies presumed to be missing persons have been discovered in Jeju over the past three days, starting from August 22.
According to Yonhap News on August 24, a male body, estimated to be in his 70s, was found by a fisherman at sea near Sinheung-ri in Jeju City at 3:04 a.m. on August 23. The fisherman reported the discovery to the 119 emergency services.
The Jeju Coast Guard confirmed that the man had been reported missing to the Jeju Eastern Police Station on August 22 and is currently investigating the cause and circumstances of his death.
Later that day, at 10:46 a.m., a body believed to be that of 37-year-old Jang Mi-ran, who went missing in May, was found near a long-term lodging facility. This marked 104 days since her disappearance.
Initially, the police officer handling her case had falsely closed the missing person report, but it was reopened last month, prompting ongoing search efforts.
Additionally, at 9:35 a.m. on the same day, another missing person reported to the police was found dead near a valley in Aewol-eup, Jeju City.
On August 22, a man in his 60s was also discovered dead in Songdang-ri, Gujwa-eup, Jeju City. This individual had been reported missing on August 2, but the same police officer involved in Jang's case had also falsely closed this report.
