According to Jang’s family and others on August 19, Jang went missing after leaving her home in Hallim-eup, Jeju City, from late in the evening of May 12 until the early morning of May 13. At the time of her disappearance, Jang had long straight hair, was estimated to be 158 cm tall, had a slender build, and was wearing a gold bracelet. She is characterized by her endearing way of speaking.


Previously, Jang’s family reported to the police in mid-May that Jang had not returned home. At the time, Sergeant A, who was on night duty, reportedly told his superior that “he had contacted the person in question” and closed the case as resolved.


However, last month, after Jang’s family again reported her missing to the police, stating that they still had no contact with her, the police reopened the investigation, considering both the possibility of her running away and of her disappearance. So far, there have been no confirmed signs of activity in Jang’s card usage, cellphone records, or hospital visits.



The police are currently focusing their efforts on finding the missing person and are also investigating whether Sergeant A actually spoke with Jang. Meanwhile, on July 22, Sergeant A was also investigated on charges of entering the women’s restroom at the police station (violation of the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes) and has since been suspended from duty.
