A guest at a restaurant in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, who saved a man who suddenly collapsed with emergency first aid, is becoming a hot topic.

According to a video released by MBC on the 8th, a man dining at a restaurant in Gumi, Gyeongbuk suddenly appeared uncomfortable, touching his forehead, and then collapsed. Other customers in the restaurant were confused upon seeing the man collapse, but a man and woman in their 20s dining by the window some distance away ran over and, as if coordinated, divided roles to provide emergency care.

While the woman checked the collapsed man's breathing and pulse, the man immediately called 119 and secured the airway. The woman then began performing CPR.

After a moment, the collapsed man started twitching his knees and hands, then opened his eyes and raised his upper body. He regained consciousness enough to answer questions from his companions.

The restaurant owner explained the situation, saying, “(The collapsed man’s) eyes were completely rolled back, and when I checked his pulse, he wasn’t breathing. Everyone was panicked. People were too scared to even touch him, but the young man and woman ran over quickly as if it was natural, without hesitation. I thought Superman and Supergirl had come. They came so fast that they pushed aside the people nearby and performed emergency care.” He added, “I thought they must have worked in an emergency room. Their role division was so precise, as if they had planned it together.”

The identities of the man and woman were rookie police officers. The two police officers, who had been on the force for less than a year, were having lunch together in plain clothes on their day off. The woman was Police Officer Kim Do-yeon from the Jungang Precinct of Gimcheon Police Station in Gyeongbuk, and the man was Police Officer Shin Hong-jun from the Seongnae Precinct of Gangdong Police Station in Seoul.

Police Officer Kim Do-yeon said, “When I heard the ‘thud’ sound, my body just reacted and I ran over. It was an unexpected event, but I’m glad I could help in a critical moment. I will continue to do my best in everything as a police officer.”
