[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] bhc Chicken announced on the 22nd that it has selected Namhee Kim as a ‘bhc Hero.’

On April 26th, Ms. Kim discovered a security guard in his 70s who had lost consciousness and collapsed due to cardiac arrest while working at an apartment in Gimhae, Gyeongnam. She immediately rushed to the guard and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while video calling 119 firefighters. Ms. Kim, who works at a day care center, had prior CPR training experience and played a crucial role in securing the guard’s golden time. Thanks to the efforts of Ms. Kim, the management office staff, and residents, the security guard regained consciousness.

bhc Chicken stated that Ms. Kim’s actions serve as a role model for our society and selected her as a ‘bhc Hero.’ On the 17th, they visited Ms. Kim, who resides in Gimhae, to present her with a certificate and a chicken gift certificate.

Ms. Kim said, “When I saw someone who helps residents live in a comfortable and safe environment in danger, my body moved instinctively,” and added, “I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who united with one heart and worked together at that time.”

Kim Yonghee, Director of Franchise Operations at bhc Chicken, said, “It is moving to live with heroes who calmly and swiftly responded in a critical moment to save a precious life,” and added, “bhc Chicken will continue to extend a helping hand to neighbors in need and create a society where we live together.”

Meanwhile, bhc Chicken started the ‘bhc Hero’ award in August 2017 under the theme ‘You are a true hero,’ recognizing citizens who perform exemplary and righteous acts in society. This year’s ‘bhc Hero’ recipients include a captain who rescued a sailor who fell into the sea despite physical discomfort, a bus driver who extinguished a fire early, and a lieutenant colonel and sergeant who provided rescue measures at a seven-car pileup on the highway.
