On the 4th, Yonhap News TV's YouTube channel revealed the story of a woman in her 40s, Ms. A, who caused an accident while driving a compact car in an apartment underground parking lot.

Ms. A caused the accident on the night of the 1st while returning home after work. The other vehicle involved was a Rolls-Royce worth hundreds of millions of won.

Ms. A explained the situation at the time, saying, "When parking, there is usually a speed bump or something behind, so I thought there was one and gently pushed, but I heard a 'thud' sound."

Moreover, Ms. A's car had a malfunctioning rear sensor, so there was no sound. Upon confirming that the other vehicle was a Rolls-Royce, Ms. A said she was "extremely flustered."

Ms. A immediately took photos and sent a message saying "I'm sorry," but received no reply from the other car owner. She waited anxiously, worried about the potential high repair costs.

After 12 hours, Ms. A was able to contact the Rolls-Royce owner. The owner said they would check in a well-lit place, then ended the call and replied by text, "At the dealership, it looks like just a slight scratch, so it seems okay," and "Anyway, thank you for contacting me."

Kim Min-jong told Yonhap News TV in a phone interview, "I was rather thankful that the car owner contacted me," and said, "It's something that can be repaired on my own."
