[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Gun-chan] A high school student who caught a man in his 30s illegally filming a female student on her way to school at a subway station explained the situation, saying, "I felt like I couldn't let him go, so I immediately took action."

On the 21st, student A caught Mr. B (36), who was caught illegally filming a female student at a subway station in Seoul on his way to school.

High school student A said on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' on the 23rd, "On my way to school, I saw a woman holding a man in front of the (subway) elevator, but the man shook off her hand, so I grabbed him."

A said, "(Mr. B) said nothing and just kept sighing," adding, "While waiting for the police officer, the man tried to destroy evidence, so I held him with one hand and filmed the evidence destruction with the other."

When asked if he was scared, he said, "At that moment, my top priority was 'I must catch him no matter what,'" and added, "I think I would act the same way if this happened again." He also said, "I thought of it as my own matter because my younger sister, who is in elementary school, could have been a victim."

Finally, addressing adults who pass by without helping citizens in danger, he urged, "The victim is someone's precious child and family. Please think of your own family and do not ignore such situations; I hope you will definitely help."
