Two people who went missing while doing haerujil (a fishing method using light to catch shellfish at night on mudflats) at the mudflats of Muui-do, Incheon, were found by the coast guard but were unconscious.
According to the Incheon Coast Guard on the 4th, around 12 p.m. that day, a woman in her 40s, Ms. A, who went missing in the sea near Hanagae Beach on Muui-do, Jung-gu, Incheon, and a man, Mr. B, whose identity has not been confirmed, were found by the coast guard during a search.
Both were unconscious and not breathing and were transported to the hospital.
Earlier that day, around midnight, a report was received that three people, including Ms. A, were trapped near Hanagae Beach, and rescue operations were launched, with Ms. C (65, female) being rescued first. At that time, Ms. C was in a condition not life-threatening and was handed over to her guardian.
Investigations revealed that they were members of a club who entered the mudflats to do haerujil and were trapped by suddenly rising seawater.
The coast guard is investigating the exact identity of Mr. B and the precise circumstances of the accident.
