It has recently come to light that Tukutz from the group Epik High heroically intervened to save a security guard in his 60s from being brutally attacked by a delivery man.
According to JTBC's 'Crime Chief' in January, an incident occurred at an apartment complex in Gangnam, Seoul. A security guard in his 60s, who was working there, was assaulted after confronting a delivery man who had entered the complex on a motorcycle despite the absence of a ground-level parking area.
A witness reported, "The delivery man started punching and kicking the security guard, saying, 'Don't you know who I am?' Even though a resident rushed over to stop the attack, the delivery driver continued his assault and then fled the scene."
The security guard suffered significant facial injuries and was diagnosed with injuries requiring more than three weeks of recovery, forcing him to stop working.
Amidst this, it was later revealed that the male resident who responded to the security guard's call for help and rushed to the scene was none other than Tukutz from Epik High.
Tukutz mentioned this incident in a YouTube video released on the 26th, saying, "I was on the news," while showing the news clip to his band members.
After the video was released, many voiced their support, saying, "Tukutz deserves a Brave Citizen Award."
Epik High continues to entertain their audience with raw and engaging content on YouTube, where they have 930,000 subscribers.
