On the afternoon of the 11th, Commissioner Yoon personally awarded commendations to the two rookie officers at the Police Agency in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, and shared an encouragement luncheon with them. He also invited Sergeant Kim So-young and Sergeant Choi Sang-mi, instructors at the Central Police Academy who taught the officers various practical skills necessary for their duties, to join and offer encouragement.


On the 2nd, at a restaurant in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, a customer suddenly staggered and fell backward with a thud. Other patrons in the restaurant were confused upon seeing the man collapse, but a man and woman in their twenties dining by a distant window rushed over, divided roles, and began emergency treatment including CPR. Shortly after, the collapsed man opened his eyes, raised his upper body, and regained consciousness. The fact that these individuals were rookie police officers became a topic of interest.


They were classmates appointed together in June last year, and both have backgrounds as national representatives. Police Officer Kim Do-yeon of the Jungang Precinct, Gimcheon Police Station in Gyeongbuk, was a national kickboxing representative, and Police Officer Shin Hong-jun of the Seongnae Precinct, Gangdong Police Station in Seoul, was a national shooting representative.



Commissioner Yoon stated, "The reason for the existence of the police is undoubtedly to protect the safety of the people," adding, "Cases like these will collectively increase the public's trust in the police."
