A video published by the coast guard reflected a rescue boat was approaching the fishing vessel that had overturned, with three crew members in the water close to the red hull.

Coast guard vessels were reportedly scouring the area for nine others, and the President, Yoon Suk-year, ordered other civil and naval resources to assist, his office mentioned in a statement.
