[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] It was at 6:37 a.m. on the 22nd when A (in his 20s), an active-duty soldier, saw a woman B (in her 20s) walking into the sea while crying on the white sand beach.

Her figure crossing the beach at Gwangalli Beach in Suyeong-gu, Busan, heading toward the sea looked worrisome. Crying sounds were also heard. Sure enough, she suddenly threw all her belongings onto the white sand and plunged into the seawater.

A immediately called 112. After reporting what was happening right before his eyes, he immediately jumped into the sea. He succeeded in rescuing B.

The police who arrived took B from A, who was under protection, transported her to the hospital, and then returned her to her family.

The police said, "We do not know why B jumped into the sea." Regarding the soldier who rescued her, they said, "We only confirmed that he belongs to the Incheon 17th Division, but we do not know the soldier's detailed identity."

After rescuing the woman, the soldier disappeared suddenly with the sea breeze.
