[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] The father of university student Son Jeong-min, who went missing and was found dead at Banpo Hangang Park, expressed his gratitude to the private rescue worker.

On the 30th of last month, Son Jeong-min's father posted a blog entry titled "I am sorry." This post was made after his son was found dead near the Hangang Park.

Son's father began by saying, "Thank you for your concern and prayers. I will do my best to send Jeong-min off well." He continued, "Tomorrow, the National Forensic Service will conduct an autopsy, and once it is completed, we plan to start the funeral procedures. According to the results, if an investigation is necessary, the police will proceed with it."

He also said, "I don't know whether it is better for an investigation to take place or for nothing to happen. It seems that neither outcome is desirable." However, he emphasized, "I am grateful for all the attention so far. Especially, I deeply thank Mr. Cha, the private rescuer who searched for Jeong-min for several days."

Son's father added, "If Mr. Cha had not rescued him, I don't even want to think about how long Jeong-min would have been in the cold river water in that condition. Once things are settled, I will definitely meet and thank him in person." He concluded by saying, "I will wait," expressing his gratitude once again.

Meanwhile, Son was last seen on the 25th of last month after drinking with a friend and falling asleep at Banpo Hangang Park. He was found dead six days later on the 30th. Today (the 1st), the National Forensic Service conducted an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death, and the police are focusing on finding witnesses.
