A man who helped rescue a woman who fell into the sea in front of a fish market in Changseon-myeon, Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam, disappeared after confirming the arrival of the rescue team.
According to the Sacheon Coast Guard on the 16th, at around 3:56 PM on the 13th, a man identified as Mr. A, who was walking by, saw a woman estimated to be in her 30s, Ms. B, struggling in the water and jumped in.
Mr. A grabbed Ms. B and brought her to the surface, and a fisherman who witnessed the scene helped by throwing a life jacket on her to assist with swimming.

They added, “Mr. A calmly disappeared from the scene after confirming that Ms. B was being moved to the ambulance by the coast guard. We are currently identifying Mr. A’s identity using witness statements and intelligence.”
