Body of Missing Woman Found on Jeju Island After 104 Days

The body of a woman believed to be Jang Miran, a 37-year-old who had been missing for 104 days, was discovered on Jeju Island on Monday, August 24, 2026, during the first day of a large-scale joint search operation. The discovery has intensified a national scandal surrounding a police officer accused of prematurely closing missing person cases without proper investigation. The body was found at 10:46 a.m. in a forested area near Hallimeup, Jeju City, approximately one kilometer from the accommodation Jang last stayed in before her disappearance in May.
