[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Cheongho Nice announced on the 24th that it presented a plaque of appreciation and a monetary gift to an employee who saved the life of a man in his 50s who had attempted suicide.


An Jiho (24), a planner at Cheongho Nice Iksan branch, discovered the man in his 50s attempting suicide around 10:25 a.m. on the 4th while passing through a parking lot in an apartment complex located in Yeongdeung-dong, Iksan City, where he lives. At the time, the man was wearing a tightly wound rope around his neck, screaming in pain, kicking the door of a passenger car, and running out.


An immediately called 119, then went upstairs to get scissors and came back down with his father who was at home. An and his father cut the rope around the man's neck and performed CPR. Shortly after, the 119 rescue team and police arrived, and thanks to the prompt response of the father and son, the man in his 50s was able to be saved.



An said, “I have always lived with the mindset that people in difficult situations should be helped,” and added, “I only did what was naturally required, so I feel embarrassed to receive such excessive attention.”
