According to Yonhap News on the 13th, around midnight on the 9th, Sergeant Kim Hyo-jong and Police Officer Yoo Ho-cheon of the Hadang Substation under the Mokpo Police Station in Jeollanam-do responded to a report from Mr. A, who said a friend they were with had disappeared.

The 20-year-old male reporter, Mr. A, was heavily intoxicated at the time, and when Sergeant Kim and Officer Yoo arrived at the scene, Mr. A’s friend had already taken a taxi home.

Judging that Mr. A would have difficulty finding his way home on his own, the two officers assisted him. While trying to find his home, Mr. A collapsed in front of a store in an alley and stopped breathing. The two officers called 119 for help and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 7 minutes until the ambulance arrived.

After the ambulance arrived, Mr. A was transported to the hospital. It is reported that his life is not in danger. Even after the ambulance transfer, the two officers visited the hospital to explain the situation and check on Mr. A’s condition.

Kim Beom-sang, Chief of the Mokpo Police Station, said, "We will do our best to protect the lives of Mokpo citizens and ensure the area is safe from crime and accidents."

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that a rescuer on vacation in Gangwon-do saved the life of a woman in her 50s who had fallen into the water. According to the Chungnam Fire Headquarters, Nam Byung-ha, a firefighter at the Yesan Fire Station 119 Rescue and Emergency Center, witnessed a man pulling an unconscious woman out of the water at a valley in Sabuk-myeon, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do on the 4th. Without hesitation, he entered the water and rescued the woman. After confirming that the woman had no consciousness or breathing, Firefighter Nam immediately performed CPR and calmly responded until the ambulance arrived.
