A woman in her 50s, who went missing last month after hiking in Bukhansan Mountain, was found dead 28 days after being reported missing.

According to an inquiry by Yonhap News on the 16th, police and fire departments discovered the woman's body at the base of Nojeokbong Peak in Bukhansan Mountain the previous afternoon.

After police confirmed her identity, the deceased was identified as Kim, 52.

Previously, on the 17th of last month, at around 11:28 AM, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul received a report from Kim's husband stating, "My wife seems to be missing," and had been searching for her whereabouts.

On the day of her disappearance, around 9 AM, Kim's husband received a call from her workplace saying she had not come in. After checking around their home with his son, he immediately reported it to the police.

Police traced closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and confirmed that Kim had ascended from Doseonsa Temple in Gangbuk-gu towards Yongammun at around noon that day, but could not find any trace of her after that.
