On the 4th, the National Police Agency introduced the story of four police officers who saved an elderly man named Mr. A at a gukbap (soup with rice) restaurant in Anyang City on the 20th of last month through a video titled "Four Bowls of Cooling Gukbap" on their YouTube channel. Among the group of police officers who ordered gukbap, Officer Shin Hee-ae from the Anyang Manan Police Station carefully observed Mr. A. Despite having gukbap in front of him, Mr. A did not even lift his spoon or move. Officer Shin watched Mr. A while resting her arm on the chair and turning her body backward, then eventually stood up and approached him. When Mr. A did not respond to Officer Shin’s approach, her colleagues also joined in to check his condition. Officer Shin and her fellow officers judged that Mr. A was losing consciousness due to hypotensive shock caused by diabetes.

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Officer Shin and her team contacted Mr. A’s family and administered emergency measures, including taking medicine from Mr. A’s belongings, crushing it finely, and having him take it with water. They reported the case to 119 and took charge of transporting him to the hospital. Thanks to the police’s swift emergency response, Mr. A safely regained consciousness and recovered. The National Police Agency added, "Although the ordered gukbap cooled down, the warm concern of the police officers helped protect the peaceful daily lives of citizens."

Netizens who saw this also praised the officers, saying, "Thank you to the police officers who create a safe environment," "Although he probably didn’t get to eat warm food, thanks to them, the hearts of the people have warmed," and "It seems clear what kind of mindset they had while on duty."
