Bryan Sung was 3 years old when he was last seen on June 3, 2019, after traveling from Redmond, Washington to South Korea on a planned three-week visit with his mother, Min Jung Cho. Two weeks into the trip Cho told Bryan’s father, Jay Sung, that she and the child would not return to the United States, and contact was severed.

U.S. courts granted Jay Sung full temporary custody and ordered Bryan’s immediate return. A felony warrant for custodial interference was issued for Min Jung Cho on April 20, 2020. Jay Sung has pursued the matter under the Hague Abduction Convention; courts in both the U.S. and South Korea issued rulings, including a return order under the Hague Convention, but enforcement efforts in Korea have so far been unsuccessful.

The U.S. Department of State has cited Korea for a pattern of noncompliance with the Hague Convention, and Jay Sung has continued public advocacy and outreach to U.S. officials. Does anyone in the community have information about Bryan’s whereabouts or contacts in South Korea who might help locate him?
