Ulsan Local Government Officials on Trip Rescue Woman Fallen into Tetrapod

Three local government officials from Ulsan who went on a trip together have successfully rescued a woman in her 50s who fell into a tetrapod.

The main figures are Staff Officer Jung (first name withheld) from Byeongyeong 2-dong, Jung-gu; Staff Officer Choi (first name withheld) from the Economic Policy Division of Nam-gu; and Staff Officer Choi (first name withheld) from Duseo-myeon, Ulju-gun.

According to Jung-gu, Ulsan, today (the 9th), these officials, who are new recruit training classmates, went on a two-day, one-night trip to the coast of Gampo-eup, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, on the 5th.

While returning to their accommodation after buying snacks at a convenience store near the sea at 8:58 p.m. on the first day, they saw a woman climbing over the stairs installed at the pier toward the tetrapods.

Sensing that it looked dangerous, Staff Officer Jung and the others immediately ran toward the tetrapods, but the woman, Ms. A, was no longer visible, and only cries for help and sobbing could be heard.

Staff Officer Jung and his companions called 119 while searching various parts of the tetrapods, and discovered Ms. A trapped underneath.

Without hesitation, Staff Officer Jung and the others bent down, grabbed Ms. A by the shoulders, and pulled her up together to rescue her.

They then brought a blanket from their accommodation and covered the shivering woman to help her calm down.

Ms. A returned home safely after receiving treatment from the dispatched paramedics.

Ms. A expressed her gratitude, saying, "The three of them are my saviors who risked danger in the dark to save my life. I will never forget how they took my hand without hesitation and will live each day to the fullest."

The officials stated, "Our bodies moved first with the mindset that we had to help her however we could. We believe we did what naturally needed to be done as public officials, and above all, we are just glad that she returned home safely."
