On October 15, an anonymous customer paid the 600,000 won meal bill for 27 people, including welfare center users, at a barbecue restaurant in Incheon before quietly disappearing. 

Surprised by the sudden act of kindness, welfare center officials asked the restaurant for the customer's identity to express their gratitude, but the person had already left without leaving any contact information or details. 

We captured this warm moment from everyday life.
