Busan Transportation Corporation (President Lee Byungjin) awarded a certificate of appreciation and a reward to citizen Lee Dulsun at its headquarters on September 1, in recognition of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and saving the life of a passenger who collapsed on Busan Subway Line 1.


At around 12:55 p.m. on July 30, a passenger suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed inside a train bound for Dadaepo on Busan Subway Line 1. Witnessing the incident, citizens immediately called emergency services at 119 and began rescue efforts.


In particular, Lee Dulsun promptly performed CPR, enabling the collapsed passenger to regain consciousness in just two minutes.

The golden time for CPR is within four minutes. If it had not been for the calm and swift response at the time, it would have been difficult to save the passenger's life. The corporation tracked down Lee Dulsun, the good Samaritan, after searching through media reports, and expressed its gratitude.


Lee Dulsun humbly commented, "I only did what I could, and I am relieved that the person who collapsed recovered. It was possible because other citizens at the scene also stepped in."



President Lee Byungjin stated, "I deeply appreciate the courage and mature civic spirit of the citizens who saved a precious life. We will work to create a safer urban rail environment and strengthen citizen safety education and awareness for emergency situations."
