[Herald Economy = Reporter Choi Won-hyuk] TV personality Hong Seok-cheon made headlines after rescuing a woman who collapsed while visiting Bangkok.
On the 22nd, Hong posted on his social media, “Songkran in Bangkok is a water festival to welcome the new year. Accidents happen every year,” adding, “This year’s reports say 191 people died and hundreds were injured.”
He continued, “Traffic accidents are common, but many young people lose their lives because of excessive drug use and drinking. I was invited to DJ at a festival, so I joined this year’s Songkran.”
Describing the incident, he wrote, “While enjoying another festival with some younger friends, we moved a Thai woman who had collapsed from drinking and hypothermia to a safe area. Thankfully it didn’t turn into a major accident.”
He warned festivalgoers: “If you dance and shout for long periods while soaked and intoxicated, you can suddenly go into shock or develop hypothermia, so please be extra careful. There will be many festivals this summer—above all, enjoy them safely.”
With a laugh he added, “Youth is beautiful. Just act responsibly,” and joked, “I wonder if that Thai woman even knew I’m Hong Seok-cheon?”
Hong posted a video alongside his message. The footage shows him pulling the fallen woman out of the crowd and moving her to safety. He reassured her and her companions and stayed with them until rescue teams arrived.
Netizens reacted with comments like, “If it weren’t for him, that woman could have been in serious trouble,” “Is this what being a dad can do?,” “Safety comes first,” and “A great lesson: enjoy life, but don’t be careless and ruin yourself.”
