After my brother left house, I tried to navigate the way to find him. However, the only thing I found out was that it is extremely challenging to file a case for missing adults. According to Korean law, it is much stricter to find an adult. First, it is extremely difficult for police to investigate if there is clear evidence of crime. Like my brother, police will not put effort into it if it is run away. This is because authorities think that adults have more financial sustainability and mental stability to sustain their living. Secondly, navigating missing adults fall into privacy concern. According to Korean law, it requires consent for any kind of information sharing. Unlike children, various adult cases require consent from the closest family members to proceed investigation. There is misconception that police can only start investigation 24 hours after missing. However, this is misinformation originated from K-drama and movie.
