[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] A video showing a high school boy holding the hand of an elderly grandmother with limited mobility as they cross an 8-lane crosswalk together has been released, evoking warmth and admiration.

On the 22nd, a video titled "A Beautiful Walk of a Grandmother and a High School Student" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Han Moon-cheol TV,' operated by traffic accident specialist lawyer Han Moon-cheol. The released dashcam footage captured on the 15th shows a grandmother and a student crossing an 8-lane crosswalk in Jinwol-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju City.

The informant, Mr. A, said, "A student helped the grandmother cross the crosswalk," adding, "Please praise this kind student who bent his knees and took slow steps to assist the elderly woman at her height as they crossed the crosswalk together."

In the video, the boy noticed that despite the pedestrian signal being green, the grandmother was unable to walk properly. He approached her, took her hand, and bent his knees to her eye level, ensuring she could safely cross the crosswalk.

While crossing, the grandmother appeared to struggle, walking and resting repeatedly, and the boy waited patiently, accompanying her until they reached the other side.

When the signal turned red, other students also came down to the crosswalk to protect the grandmother. With the help of the students, the grandmother was able to cross safely. The informant emphasized, "This student deserves proper praise," and said, "I really want to commend him."

Netizens who saw the video responded with comments such as, "The future of this country is bright because of students like this. Well done," "You can see the teachings of the student's parents. Proud of you," and "It's a natural thing to do, but in these selfish and cold times, this video is very touching. Thank you."

Such acts of kindness by students have deeply moved netizens. Previously, on the 15th of last month in Busan, CCTV footage showing middle school students surrounding and protecting a grandmother collecting scrap paper near a fast-moving crosswalk and alleyway was also released, touching many hearts.
