Young Female Courier Appears... Acted Tough Saying "Parked Like Hell," But Ended Up Like This

Last August, in the underground parking lot of an apartment complex in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province.

A man comes down to the parking lot with his family, lingers in front of a parked delivery truck, and takes pictures.

A short while later, when a young-looking female courier returns, he suddenly starts shouting.

[Apartment Resident: "Hey, what the f , are you kidding me right now? How the f can you park a car like this? I'm telling you nicely. F , she parks like sht, f*!"]

Startled, the courier quickly moved her vehicle so his car could get out, but he closely followed her in reverse and threatened her again.

[Apartment Resident: "Hey!! Hey, are you trying to pick a fight with me now? F*, are you trying to take me on? You need to back up more so I can get out!"]

The courier explained that the apartment complex has narrow parking spaces and many fast-delivery complaint requests, and this incident happened while she was double-parked for a brief moment.

[Tip-off Provider/Courier: "It was a situation where I had parked for about two minutes. He started hurling a barrage of profanity at me and approached me in such a threatening manner. I thought that normally, if he turned his steering wheel, he would have been able to drive around and out just fine. I was so scared and anxious, feeling like he might kill me right then and there."]

Feeling her personal safety threatened, the courier immediately reported the incident to the police, and the man hurriedly moved his car and disappeared somewhere.

[Tip-off Provider/Courier: "(Male) Team leader went over there, and nothing like that ever happened to him. But (I am) obviously young, a female, and a skinny young woman doing delivery work. If it had been a normal male, he probably wouldn't have sworn and would have just said, 'Just move your car.'"]

The courier is currently 19 years old and started delivery work at an early age to cover expenses while dreaming of becoming a race car driver. Due to this incident, she has suffered severe psychological shock and has even changed her apartment delivery zone.

The courier has currently filed a criminal complaint against the man for insult, and experts say that after analyzing the CCTV footage, reviewing potential charges of intimidation or assault is also fully possible.

[Song Ji-won / Lawyer, News Hunters: "There is legal precedent stating that exercising physical force does not necessarily mean directly hitting someone's body; shouting loudly to intimidate someone can also constitute assault. Pounding or striking a vehicle could also potentially be considered assault."]

Netizens who encountered the incident reacted with comments such as, "This is a classic case of bullying the weak and acting cowardly," "Would he have acted like that if the courier had been a large man?" and "I'm rooting for you, courier, stay strong."
