[Asia Economy Reporter Jumi Lee] Amid the heartbreaking sight of notes from a mother searching for her missing son posted all over Jamsu Bridge, the body of her son, Kim Seonghun (25), mentioned in the notes, was found in the Han River.

On the 25th, Kim's family updated a post titled "My brother-in-law is missing," which was originally posted on the internet community 'Bobaedream' on the 14th, adding that they had found Kim and informing the public of the situation.

The post, presumed to be written by Kim's sister, stated, "On the 24th, the police called our father," and explained, "They said they found Seonghun in the Han River under Dongjak Bridge and asked us to come and confirm if it was really Seonghun."

She continued, "Upon confirmation, we realized how long our Seonghun had been there; our youngest was badly injured," adding, "Our youngest is very timid, so he must have been very scared, very cold, and very lonely."

She also expressed gratitude, saying, "We are very thankful to those who searched with us, worried about us, and comforted us," and added, "I am posting this because I worry that some might still be unable to find Seonghun, losing sleep over it, or that those searching might get hurt."

Earlier, Kim disappeared on the 7th after parking his car at Jamsu Bridge. The case was reported to the Banpo Police Substation of the Seoul Seocho Police Station on the 12th after citizens noticed the car had been abandoned for several days. The car’s black box stopped recording after entering Jamsu Bridge, and Kim’s belongings, including his cellphone and wallet, were found inside the vehicle. The story became known after his family wrote messages such as "Son, let's go home quickly. We are looking for you" on Post-it notes and attached them to the railings of Jamsu Bridge in an effort to find him.
