[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] On the 23rd, a post titled "Looking for a Good Samaritan" was uploaded on the online community BobaeDream. The post was about finding a Coupang deliveryman who discovered flames while delivering packages early in the morning, reported it, guided the firefighters, and then disappeared.

The author explained the situation, saying, "A fire of unknown cause broke out in a building in Incheon managed by a client." According to him, the fire started at the recycling corner inside the building during the early morning when everyone was asleep.

He said, "Since the manager does not work 24 hours, the residents were completely unaware of the fire." He also mentioned that it is presumed the fire started from a cigarette butt, but no one knows the exact cause.

The fire was discovered by a Coupang deliveryman who was busy with early morning deliveries. Upon spotting the flames across the street, he stopped his vehicle, ran to the building, and immediately called 119. Then, he carefully explained the situation to the arriving firefighters and only left after the fire was fully extinguished and he felt reassured.

This Coupang deliveryman’s actions were captured on the building’s CCTV footage. The video shows the busy movements of the deliveryman and firefighters, reflecting the urgency of the situation at that time.

The author added, "The fire occurred near the seafood soup alley intersection in Bupyeong-dong, Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, around 12:20 a.m. on the 22nd," and said, "The building management really wants to find this person (the Coupang deliveryman)."

He continued, "Although the world is harsh, if it weren’t for this person (the Coupang deliveryman), the damage to lives and vehicles would have been severe," and also expressed gratitude to the 119 firefighters who helped with the quick extinguishing of the fire.
