Convenience Store Clerk Gets Down on the Floor: "This Is Promoting National Prestige"

[Anchor] Is a convenience store clerk's act of kindness toward a Japanese tourist becoming a hot topic?

[Reporter] Yes, it is a case where a small act of consideration for someone has become a warm memory that defines how they remember the country.

Recently, a Japanese tourist, identified as A, shared an experience they had at a convenience store at Incheon International Airport through their social media.

While visiting the store during their trip, the tourist's younger sister dropped her wireless earphones, which slid deep into a narrow gap under a display shelf.

Seeing the sisters in distress, the convenience store clerk did not hesitate to lie flat on the floor and began searching for the earphones.

When the earphones were not found after a long search, A felt sorry and said, "We will give up," but the clerk did not stop searching until the very end.

Eventually, the clerk even disassembled the bottom part of the display shelf and searched the dusty corner with their bare hands until they found the earphones.

A shared photos from the incident and expressed their gratitude, saying, "I was so thankful that it warmed my heart."

As the story spread, other Japanese tourists shared their own experiences as well.

One user recalled a time when they lost consciousness on a train in Korea, and fellow citizens helped with emergency aid and did not leave until they confirmed the person was safe.

Netizens who saw the story showered the clerk with praise, commenting, "The national image is elevated thanks to people like this," and "This is what it means to promote national prestige."
