[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] A commotion occurred when a doctor camping on a mountain in Yeosu, Jeollanam-do, went missing and was found after 4 hours.

Today (the 23rd), the Yeosu Fire Station and Yeosu Police Station announced that at around 10:48 PM on the 22nd, they received a report from the mid-slope of Cheonseongsan Mountain (altitude 380m) in Yeosu stating, "A friend who was camping and drinking together has disappeared." The missing person was identified as a doctor working at a hospital in Suncheon.

Given a previous case where a medical student went missing in the Han River and was later found deceased, the fire and police departments quickly responded after confirming that the missing person's phone was turned off. The search involved 114 rescue personnel, including 26 firefighters and 83 police officers, as well as thermal imaging camera equipment.

After about 4 hours of searching, the missing person was found asleep. It was revealed that the individual, intoxicated while descending the mountain, fell asleep on the spot. The fire and police authorities confirmed that the missing person's health condition was good and handed them over to their guardian.
