Coast Guard rescuers search the inside of Jeju Port.

This is because one of the seven missing sailors of’Myeong Min-ho’ who suffered an overturn accident was unfortunately found dead in the port.

The identity of the body is Kim Mo, a 73-year-old sailor, and is believed to have been pushed into the harbor by high waves and tide.

With the discovery of one body, the Coast Guard is intensifying the search for missing persons even in the port here.

Additional floating items, such as passports and bags, which are believed to belong to a missing Indonesian sailor, were also collected.

On the third day of the search, the Coast Guard is spurring the search for missing persons both at sea and on land with nine ships, five aircraft, and 700 people.

The family of the missing Koreans and the Indonesian consul in Korea looked for the accident and watched the search.

It is noteworthy that the weather, which has hampered the rescue and search, is gradually easing, leading to further discovery of missing persons.
