This Jeju Island case is actually disturbing. 😳
A 37-year-old woman, Jang Mi-ran, disappeared in Jeju on May 12. Her boyfriend reported her missing three days later.
But instead of properly investigating, a police officer allegedly told authorities that he had contacted her and that she was safe even though police records reportedly showed no such call ever happened.
The officer allegedly went further and deleted her information from the police missing-person system, effectively closing the case.
Her family kept searching, and the investigation was eventually reopened. The officer was later arrested after investigators reportedly discovered another missing-person case that had allegedly been handled in a similar way.
Then yesterday, 104 days after she disappeared, a body believed to be Jang Mi-ran was found in a grove in Jeju reportedly only about 1km from where she had been staying.
Police say there were no obvious signs of foul play so far, and the exact cause of death still needs to be confirmed.
But imagine if her case had been properly investigated from the beginning. 💔
A woman disappeared. Her case was allegedly falsified and closed. Her family kept looking. And more than three months later, she was found dead.
The investigation into what happened and why that police officer allegedly did what he did is still ongoing.
A Jeju police officer was arrested today for deliberately shutting down missing-person cases — not one or two, but roughly 298 of them. He told families their loved ones were safe, then quietly deleted the cases from the missing-persons system.
The case cracked open because of Jang Mi-ran's disappearance, which turned out to expose a far larger cover-up.
Jang Mi-ran, 37, went missing on May 12.
Her boyfriend reported it, and the officer assigned to the case told him he'd reached her, that she was safe, and that she didn't want her location shared — then closed the file that same night. It later emerged there was no record police had ever actually contacted her.
Once the officer was identified and implicated, investigators went back through his past cases. Between August 22 and 24, they found four bodies of people who had been reported missing — Jang Mi-ran among them, found 104 days after she disappeared, just a few minutes' walk from where she'd been staying. The other three were men, two in their 60s and one in his 70s.
Since prosecutors' authority to conduct supplementary investigation was abolished, public anxiety has been mounting over how a single officer could kill hundreds of cases with almost no way for anyone to catch it.

If you never want to be an inconvenience, then you’ll never have any meaningful friendship, a meaningful marriage, or any meaningful relationship with anyone.
To love someone is to inconvenience them, it is to need them, it is to interrupt their plans, it is to ask for help, to need a ride at 2 in the morning to the airport, to need a store run because you must eat pickles right at this moment, all of it an annoying inconvenience.
And yet all of it also a wonderful inconvenience.
To be loved is to be inconvenienced, because a life where nobody bothers you, where nobody inconveniences you, is not a better happier one, it is just simply, and plainly, terribly lonely.
My mom lived with her while she was incarcerated and she said this is fantastic acting because Mackenzie shirilla is a nasty, nasty and horrible girl. #DONTFREEHER
A 20-year-old man invaded his ex-partner's workplace, jumped the turnstile, and violently assaulted her inside an elevator. The footage is revolting and shows the victim desperately trying to escape an aggressor who refuses to accept the end of the relationship. What prevented a greater tragedy was the immense courage of a second woman, who placed herself in front of the victim and physically intervened to stop the blows and protect her.
The question that remains is: why are our places of livelihood still spaces of such profound vulnerability for us? Real protection for women must come from a deep transformation of this structure that allows men to feel they own our bodies and our lives. All our solidarity to the victim and deep recognition to the worker who risked her own safety to rescue her!
