On May 14, Ansan City announced that it had awarded a commendation for "2026 Neighborly Love Practice and Social Volunteer Service Merit" to Park Minhyo (18), a student who saved a citizen in their 60s who lost consciousness and collapsed at a bus stop on April 22.

Park Minhyo, currently a third-year student majoring in Health and Nursing at Ansan International Business High School, witnessed a citizen suddenly collapse while waiting for a bus near Jungang Station on Subway Line 4 around 6 p.m. on April 22.

Park Minhyo immediately asked a friend to call emergency services (119), then approached the patient to check for consciousness and breathing. Notably, she calmly assessed for any underlying medical conditions as she had learned at school, and provided composed initial care until the paramedics arrived, thereby protecting the citizen's golden time for survival.

Park Minhyo has consistently developed her skills while aspiring to become a nurse. She previously received the top prize at the Gyeonggi-do Residents Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Competition.

Park Minhyo said, "When I found the elderly person who had collapsed, I recalled the procedures for checking consciousness and responding to convulsions that I learned during class, and responded accordingly. Based on this experience, I will strive even harder to become a nurse who can take good care of those who are ill."

Heo Namseok, Acting Mayor (Deputy Mayor) of Ansan City, said, "I deeply thank Park Minhyo for remaining calm and contributing to the protection of a citizen's life during an emergency. I sincerely congratulate her on this meaningful act of neighborly love."
