"Sister Reports Brother Missing, Believed to Be in Cambodia... Daejeon Police Launch Investigation"

The police have launched an investigation after losing contact with a man in his twenties who traveled to Southeast Asia.

The Daejeon Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 13th that they had received a missing person report from B, who said, "My older brother A left for Southeast Asia and seems to be in Cambodia, but he has been out of contact for several months." The police have begun to verify his identity.

According to the police, A, a man in his twenties, sent messages via social networking services (SNS) last February saying, "I'm going to Vietnam to plan a business," "I've moved from Vietnam to Cambodia," and "I might start a telemarketing business in Cambodia."

A's friend reportedly sent a small amount of money to A's account to celebrate A's birthday in August and left a message, but received no reply.

After recently hearing about the situation from A's friend, B filed a report at the Siheung Police Station in Gyeonggi Province, where B resides. The case was transferred to Daejeon on the 10th.

The police confirmed through immigration records that A left for Vietnam last February and are currently tracking his whereabouts.

The police plan to work with related agencies and ministries, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to determine A's location and review his account transactions.

A police official stated, "We have just received the case," adding, "We are keeping all possibilities open, including potential involvement in a crime, and will investigate the overall circumstances."
