Woman Detained After Using Men's Restroom Faces Backlash Over Police Involvement

A woman reportedly had the police called on her after using a restroom at a highway service area. What kind of situation was this?

Yes, a story recently surfaced on social media about police being dispatched due to a restroom usage issue at a highway service area.

While traveling from Busan to Seoul, the poster, identified as A, suddenly had a stomachache. As the line for the women's restroom was long, she inevitably used the men's restroom.

While coming out after apologizing to a male user, a man protested, asking why she was using the men's restroom, and eventually called 112 to summon the police.

Police attempted to wrap up the situation at the scene with a verbal warning, but the reporting man reportedly continued to protest until the end.

While acknowledging that using the men's restroom was wrong, A expressed her frustration, saying, "I am not sure if this was something that warranted calling the police."

However, netizens reacted critically to A's behavior and attitude, leaving comments such as, "If a man had gone into the women's restroom instead, he would have naturally been investigated by the police," and "Be thankful that it ended with a verbal warning."
