Jae-Woo Kim (KASI), and Seo-Won Chang (Seoul National University)                
report on behalf of the KMTNet neutrino ToO program:                             
                                                                                 
We observed the area corresponding to the neutrino event IceCube-250309A         
with the KMTNet-CTIO for the initial coordinates of Zegarelli et. al, GCN 39631.  
                                                                                 
The KMTNet-CTIO observation started at 2025-03-09 09:44 (UTC), and               
we acquired I-band images for four pointings covering the entire                 
90% uncertainty area for the alert. The source AT2025dws 
(Stein et al., GCN 39639, Pérez-Fournon et al. GCN 39643,  
Moskvitin et al. GCN 39645, Perley et al. GCN 39646) 
is clearly found in the images with the following photometric measurements:
