The body of one of the 12 missing people on the Geumseong ship that sank off Jeju Island has been found, and the search has been continuing for three days.

There is no news of further discovery yet, but inclement weather is expected to be a variable in the search.

There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Bae Minhyuk!

No additional missing persons have been found, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, one of the missing people was found for the first time around 9 p.m. last night.

Since then, there has been no news of further discovery.

The Coast Guard found a missing person wearing a waterproof work suit around the sunken hull using a remote-controlled underwater robot, R.O.V., at around 9 p.m. last night.

Soon after, the salvage work was carried out, and the body was transferred to Jeju Port at around 2:15 a.m.

Identification confirmed that he was a Korean sailor in his 60s who was aboard the Venus at the time.

The Coast Guard continued its maritime search by firing flare to find 11 missing people who have yet to find them, but failed to find any additional missing people overnight.

It's raining in the Jeju area today, is there any problem with the search operation?

## There is a possibility of ad-libbing.





Yes, as you can see, it's a little windy in Jeju Island.

The Coast Guard plans to proceed with the search as planned.

During the day today, 50 ships and nine aircraft are planned to be deployed for sea searches.

In addition, the Coast Guard explained that when a private rescue company arrives at the scene today, a deep-sea submarine will conduct an underwater search.

However, weather conditions are expected to be a variable as it is raining occasionally around the area of the accident and a special wind and waves warning has been issued in the southern sea of Jeju.

This is because if the weather gets worse, it can be difficult not only to deploy remote-controlled underwater robots but also to search underwater.

The Coast Guard is determined to continue the search in consideration of the weather and on-site conditions.
