1. A body believed to be that of Jang Mi-ran, who went missing in Jeju Island last May, has been found. The Jeju Provincial Police Agency announced that at around 10:45 a.m. today (the 24th), they discovered a body suspected to be Jang in a wooded area near Hallim-eup, Jeju City. Police stated that while the body was in an advanced state of decomposition making identification difficult at the scene, clothing items worn by Jang were found nearby. Once the recovery operation at the scene is completed, authorities plan to conduct detailed forensics to confirm the exact identity and cause of death. Meanwhile, an arrest warrant has been requested for a police officer identified as Inspector A, who was emergency arrested on charges of repeatedly closing the missing person cases for Jang and a man in his 60s under false pretenses.

2. The 2nd General Special Counsel Team, led by Kwon Chang-young, which has been investigating remaining suspicions following the three special counsels, wrapped up its 180-day investigation and announced the results today. Indicting 58 people, including former President Yoon Suk Yeol and Kim Keon-hee, the special counsel team has been evaluated as having achieved some results regarding suspicions over the relocation of the presidential residence. However, it handed over the case to the National Office of Investigation without uncovering suspicions related to the so-called Noh Sang-won notebook and the altering of the Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway route. Controversy also arose as the special counsel overturned the previous special counsel's assessment on the insurrection charges by indicting former National Intelligence Service First Deputy Director Hong Jang-won, who played a role in proving insurrection charges, and former Capital Defense Command 1st Guard Corps Commander Cho Seong-hyeon, who had martial law troops stay at the northern end of Sogang Bridge on the day of martial law.

3. The disabled rights advocacy group that has been staging morning subway-boarding protests in wheelchairs at Seoul Station and other locations announced that it will completely suspend the demonstrations. The Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination (SADD) and the Democratic Party of Korea Seoul Metropolitan Council branch made the announcement during a press conference held at the Seoul Metropolitan Council building to declare a grand social compromise for guaranteeing the rights of people with disabilities. The Democratic Party council branch promised to pass party ordinances No. 1 and No. 2—which guarantee the right to mobility and labor for people with disabilities—at the upcoming plenary session, and SADD accepted this promise, leading to the decision to halt the subway-boarding protests.

4. As it was revealed that formaldehyde, a Group 1 carcinogen, was used to maintain the freshness of Chinese cabbages in some rural areas of China, the central government of China directly ordered a special investigation. The formaldehyde cabbage incident came to light after a Chinese blogger released footage filming a cabbage procurement site in Tangbao County. The footage showed procurement merchants lifting cabbages one by one and dipping their roots into a basin containing formaldehyde liquid before loading them onto trucks. As the controversy spread, South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety stated that it is verifying whether any of this cabbage volume was exported to South Korea through the Chinese Embassy.
