A also mentioned, "Since my father went missing after going to the restroom, he has no money and his physical strength is weakened, so there is a possibility he might be lying on the bare ground." A’s post quickly spread through online communities and social networking services (SNS).

Netizens responded with comments such as, "It must be even more worrying since it’s a foreign country. I hope he returns to his family soon," "The weather will get colder at night, so they should at least check the CCTV," "I’m worried he might have collapsed," and "I sincerely pray that he is found safely."

He said, "I just received a call from the police saying they found my father," adding, "A police officer found my father sitting on the roadside in downtown Incheon. I am truly grateful." He continued, "I deeply thank everyone who shared the post, worried, and provided information."
