"Disappear If You Walk Around at Night"... Jeju Ghost Stories Driven by Sensationalism

[Anchor] Following the case of the late Jang Mi-ran, unverified ghost stories are spreading, and anxieties are growing, is that right?

[Reporter] Yes, various speculative posts surrounding the Jeju disappearance case have recently been spreading rapidly across online communities and social media.

Some posts even claim, without any evidence, that the police are linked to a Chinese organ-trafficking ring, or that the police officer who closed the disappearance case under false pretenses must be the culprit.

Sensational content such as "If you walk around at night in Jeju, you will disappear" is also spreading.

Remarks by celebrities are further fueling this anxiety.

Broadcaster Hong Hye-geol, who resides in Jeju, posted on social media suggesting that people avoid walking around alone. After sparking controversy, he clarified, "It wasn't meant to imply that Jeju is dangerous, but rather to be cautious."

Additionally, an old YouTube video has belatedly become a hot topic, in which a singer revealed that they had been threatened with a weapon in Jeju back in 2021.
