The Coast Guard dispatched patrol vessels and rescue ships to the sinking site.
It launched a rescue operation to find the people on board but has yet to find anyone.
It also asked ships passing areas near the sinking site to cooperate.
The report of the sinking came from someone who was onboard a nearby ship.
The Coast Guard is looking into whether the vessel was used to let passengers into Korea illegally.
