We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 210413B (A. Tohuvavohu et
al. GCN #29819, and P. A. Evans et al., GCN #29821) with the 1-m class
telescope in Lemonsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (LOAO), one of
facilities of the GW EM-Counterpart Korean Observatory (GECKO).

We observed the center of Swift/BAT localization (RA, Dec = 182.558 +55.965),
but could not find any transient within the field of view of LOAO
(28.1'x28.1'). We calibrated flux with the PS1 catalog and used an AB
magnitude system.

We thank the LOAO opertator for performing the observation.
