  "summary": "An arrest warrant has been issued for a Jeju police officer over the mishandling of a missing person case, according to The Korea Times. The officer is accused of prematurely closing the case of missing woman Jang Mi-ran in May without confirming her safety and deleting her information from the police's missing persons profiling system. The court began the officer's arrest warrant hearing on Tuesday, with charges including dereliction of duty, forgery, falsifying public electronic records, and obstruction of official duties through deception. The body of Jang was found on the southern island of Jeju and confirmed to be hers, leading to the arrest warrant. The officer was initially placed under emergency detention on Saturday but was released on Monday after a court reviewed the legality of his detention.",
