  "summary": "Interior Minister Yun Ho-jung has apologized for the police mishandling of a missing person case on Jeju Island. A police officer closed the case in May without confirming the woman's safety, and her body was found on Monday after an intensive search was launched last week.\n\nAccording to Yonhap News, the officer in charge of the case closed it hours after the woman's boyfriend reported her missing on May 15, allegedly lying to him that he had spoken with her. A local court has issued a warrant for the officer's arrest.\n\nMinister Yun has ordered a thorough investigation into the allegations and instructed police officials to inspect other missing person cases across the country for possible wrongdoing. He also called for a broader inspection of the current system for improvements, citing a structural flaw in how police handle missing person cases.",
