According to the Busan Fire and Disaster Headquarters, the missing middle school student, A, was discovered around 1:04 PM near the breakwater in front of the LCT on the east side of Haeundae Beach by a volunteer firefighter participating in the search.

Earlier, at around 3:41 AM on the 25th, three middle school students from Daegu were playing in the water at Haeundae Beach when two of them were swept away by waves beyond the buoy.

One of the students playing with them managed to swim back to the beach by holding onto the buoy marking the swimming control line and then asked a passerby for help, who reported the incident to 119.

Of the two missing middle school students, one was found dead about 20 minutes after the accident, and the search for A, who was found on this day, had been ongoing for two days.
