[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A citizen who collapsed in the Busan subway after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is looking for the passengers who helped him.
On the 15th, a post titled "Looking for the guardian angels who saved me when I collapsed in the subway" was uploaded on the online community BobaeDream.
The author, who revealed that they received the Moderna vaccine the day before Chuseok, said, "There were no unusual symptoms immediately after the vaccination, but I collapsed on my way to work after the holiday ended," adding, "I was on Busan Subway Line 2 heading to work when my whole body became paralyzed and I lost sensation in my legs."
They continued, "I heard murmurs for about a minute, and after a woman asked, 'Are you okay?' I lost consciousness for a while."
They added, "Some men lifted me and laid me down, and two women loosened my clothes and lifted my chin to keep my airway clear," saying, "One of the two women seemed to be a nurse."
According to the author, one of the women had a floral tattoo on her wrist, and the men were estimated to be in their 40s wearing hiking clothes. They reportedly left the scene around the time the 119 emergency responders arrived.
The author said, "The subway station said they cannot provide any information due to privacy reasons," and added, "I want to repay them, so I am posting this to find them. If you remember me, please leave a comment."
Netizens who saw this post responded with comments such as "The world is still worth living in," "There are many heroes quietly working in every corner," "Both sides are wonderful," and "I am grateful to those who helped."
