Listen

Police have retrieved two bodies from the Han River in Seoul.

One body was found at 9:30 a.m. in western Seoul, near the Seongsan Bridge between Mapo-gu and Yeongdeungpo-gu.

The body was identified as that of a university student surnamed Park, 24.

He had no signs of injury, nor had he left any note.

The other body, badly decomposed, was found in southwestern Seoul in Songpa-gu, near the Cheonho Bridge.

The body was fully clothed, and there were no signs of injury.

“Because of the condition of the body, this man may have died a long time ago,” a police spokesman said. “We are trying to identify him.”
