The National Center for the Rights of the Child unveiled its missing child prevention campaign, "The Man Who Prevents Child Disappearance," on the 27th. The campaign aims to encourage the public to make the practice of following missing child prevention guidelines a part of daily life, thereby stopping incidents before they occur and raising awareness throughout society.
"The Man Who Prevents Child Disappearance" borrows the format of the KBS N program "Men on the Chart" to present real-life cases of missing children and prevention tips in an accessible way.
MCs Lee Sang-min and Do Gyeongwan highlight scenarios where children may go missing, such as chasing after toys, encountering suspicious individuals asking for help, or when guardians are momentarily distracted—situations that can happen anywhere. The video also introduces systems for protecting missing children and practical steps that both children and their guardians can take together.
The campaign is available on the official YouTube channel of the National Center for the Rights of the Child, as well as on popular social media platforms and portal sites frequently used by child guardians.
As of last year, 99.6% of missing children were found within one year of being reported. However, 1,417 children remain missing for over a year, and among them, 1,128 have been missing for more than 20 years.
The National Center for the Rights of the Child plans to continue launching various campaigns to further spread missing child prevention guidelines.
Ick-Joong Chung, President of the National Center for the Rights of the Child, stated, "Missing children can become an issue at any time and in any place. It is not just a problem for the families of missing children, but something that requires everyone's attention." He added, "We hope this campaign will help foster a culture where prevention guidelines are practiced in everyday life."
