Following the tragic death of firefighter Kim Jin-seok, who died in the line of duty at a fire scene in Bucheon.

Controversy has risen once again in the political arena over remarks mentioning items such as straws.

Amidst this, an active-duty firefighter and YouTuber has created a video mourning firefighter Kim, drawing widespread attention.

There is a glass filled with water.

A straw is stuck inside it.

A firefighter wearing a mourning ribbon removes the straw from the cup and places a single chrysanthemum in its place.

Then quietly leaves the spot.

Following this, a memorial message appears reading, "May the late Firefighter Kim Jin-seok rest in peace."

Firefighter Na Gyeong-jin of the Jincheon Fire Station, who operates on YouTube under the name "Firefighter Uncle," uploaded this 1-minute and 8-second video on the 20th.
