Further information on missing trekker
A Korean trekker, Yeon-Sang Chung, has been reported as missing by TAAN on January 25th 2026. However, it should be noted that the trekker is alledged to have gone missing between December 23, 2025, and January 6th 2026.
Unfortunately there is little information about Yeon-Sang Chung other than he missed his January 10th flight to Korea. Despite trekkers needing a TREK CARD in Monjo or Lukla, Missing Trekker has not heard any information from the Solukhumbu region about his whereabouts. However, Sagamartha National Park have confirmed that he did enter the region.
Despite this, it is still unknown whether Yeon-Sang Chung was trekking alone, or with a guide, or trekking agency. We’ve reached out to the South Korean Embassy for comment.
