The safety of a 20-something Korean woman, referred to as Ms. A, who had been out of contact with her family for nearly a month after receiving hospital treatment during her trip to Japan, has been confirmed.
The Korean Embassy in Japan stated on the 22nd that the Japanese police had successfully confirmed Ms. A, who had been reported missing since her whereabouts were unknown after the 28th of last month.
Ms. A entered Japan on the 27th of last month and was transported to a hospital the following day due to symptoms of heat stroke, received treatment, and was discharged. During this process, she contacted her family to receive money for her medical expenses; however, after her discharge, contact was lost, and her family reported her missing to the local police.
Ms. A's mother has appeared on a Japanese broadcast program asking for help in finding her daughter.
The embassy said, "We have received confirmation from local police that Ms. A is safe, but the specific circumstances have not been clarified."
