Legend of the Blue Sea to Our Blues: K-dramas filmed on South Korea's Jeju Island

The dead bodies of four people, including a woman, have been found on South Korea's Jeju Island in a span of three days, leading to online speculation that a serial killer is on the loose. More than a dozen people have gone missing in recent weeks, causing a police scandal over the closing of some cases too quickly, with even South Korean President Lee Jae-myung stepping in to reassure the public. Here is what's happening:<h2>Missing woman found dead near lodging, as growing cases lead to public alarm</h2>There is no evidence yet to confirm that a serial killer is operating on the island, but the public alarm is growing. The most prominent case involves 37-year-old Jang Mi-ran, who disappeared on May 12. Her body was found on Monday (Aug 24) in a highly decomposed state, at a palm farm in Hallim-eup, nearly a kilometre from where she had been staying. Police confirmed her identity through an autopsy, while separate DNA analysis is continuing.Investigators said her body showed no clear signs of external trauma. Its position led police to initially suspect hanging. However, the exact cause of death is still being investigated, with police also examining her mobile phone.Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/obsessed-with-true-crime-and-serial-killer-dramas-here-s-what-psychologists-say-about-you-1782653423433">Obsessed with true crime and serial killer dramas?
