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.

예전에 제주 여행 갔을 때 저녁에 유명한 고깃집 갔는데 다 먹고 숙소 돌아가려고 하니까 여자 사장님께서 나오시더니 걸어갈 거냐고 여쭤보시는 거임 그래서 여기서 숙소까지 가까워서 걸어간다고 하니까 안 된다고 차 태워주겠다고 계속 그러시는 거임 그래서 호의를 계속 거절하기도 그래서 탔는데 데려다주시면서 여기서 사람 많이 없어졌다고 살인사건도 많고 실종된 사람들 많다. 근데 그냥 다 쉬쉬하는 거다. 그러면서 뒤에 얘기하신 게 근데 실종된 사람들은 다 관광객이다 관광객들은 어떻게 봐도 관광객으로 보이니까 노리면서 그런 것 같더라 이러면서 아무리 숙소까지 가까운 거리여도 택시 타고 다니라고 주의 주시면서 숙소 앞에 데려다 주시고 가심… 손님들 자주 데려다 주는 곳이고 워낙 유명해서 알 사람들은 알 듯

Productor galardonado con el Grammy Sleep Deez sobre la decisión de #BTS de no presentar su aclamado álbum, Arirang, para los Premios Grammy 2027 en nombre de la integridad, la inclusión y la no discriminación.
🗣️ Ellos ya estaban aquí arriba en mi opinión. Simplemente... simplemente alcanzaron otro nivel. Simplemente alcanzaron otro nivel en mi opinión. Ese es el tipo de sacrificio que hace que la gente sea grandiosa, sabes? Eso los llevó a un nivel totalmente diferente para mí. Un saludo para BTS, hermano.
So BTS were wearing Stone Island for the act 2 fits. They are an Italian brand specialising in high-end outerwear, which served as a stylish nod to British stadium culture and London’s local streetwear scene.
And turns out the styling choice carries an interesting historical background. I did some reading and found out that the brand's signature compass badge was originally adopted as the unofficial uniform of 1980s UK football hooligans 👀 looking to blend into luxury crowds.
So bts wearing it is like playing a clever homage to the brand and its history while also portraying the brand's gritty, rebellious stadium heritage to match the rowdy, chaotic energy of act 2 itself.
Cool right?

어느 🇺🇸아미님의 글 (쓰레드 @/ifyouwereachild)
👱♀️"저는 청각장애인입니다. 보청기는 제겐 효과가 없어서 착용하지 않습니다.
제가 음악과 사랑에 빠지는 유일한 방법은 오직 가사와 기분 좋은 바이브를 통해서입니다.
남준 #RM 에게 꼭 말해주고 싶어요.
저는 #BTS 를 알기 전까지 단 한 번도 콘서트에 가본 적도, 그 어떤 밴드를 좋아해 본 적도 없다고요.
저를 이 세계로 이끈 건 바로 'Blue & Grey'의 가사였습니다.
그 후 'IDOL', 'ON', 'Come back to me', 'Still Life', 'Nuts', 'Groin', 'The Astronaut', 'Into the sun' 같은 곡들을 만났고, 이 노래들은 제 영혼에 직접 말을 걸어왔습니다.
방탄의 가사는 초인지적이고 언어적이며, 끝없이 깊은 심연처럼 찬란하게 빛납니다.."
