At approximately 3 p.m. on June 14, four college students in their 20s, including a person identified as A, discovered the body of a person in their 30s, identified as B, on the 20th-floor rooftop of an abandoned resort in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province, and reported it to the police.

It is reported that the students had visited the site to film a horror-themed video after watching similar content about exploring abandoned buildings on YouTube.

The police stated that a suicide note was found at the scene. Given that B had been suffering from a serious underlying illness, authorities currently do not suspect any foul play.

The resort, which opened in 1992, had been left abandoned for a long period after it ceased operations due to financial difficulties following its bankruptcy the following year.
