"What My Acquaintance Experienced in Jeju": Chilling Anecdote Turns Out to Be False

First, amid growing concerns over public safety in Jeju lately, an anecdote circulating online has been confirmed to be untrue.

The story was recently posted by a YouTuber, who claimed it was something experienced by an acquaintance.

According to the post, a woman took a taxi in the early morning hours, fell asleep for a while, and woke up to find herself in a reed field.

It added that she managed to escape and report it to the police because the taxi driver was outside making a phone call.

However, Jeju police stated that after checking 112 emergency call records and the Criminal Justice Information System, no reports matching this account have been found to date.

The YouTuber in question pointed out public safety issues in the Jeju region by mentioning incidents such as a woman being threatened at a public restroom in front of Jeju City Hall and a jewelry store theft committed by Chinese nationals.

According to police verification, the public restroom incident took place 10 years ago in 2016, and the jewelry store theft occurred in May 2024.
