[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] An incident occurred on a KTX train where a man caused a disturbance because children were making noise.

According to Channel A's report on the 17th, around 8 p.m. on the 14th, a man in his 30s, identified as Mr. A, caused a disturbance on a KTX train traveling from Busan to Seoul.

At the time, there were two young children who appeared to be kindergarteners and their mother on the train. Mr. A became angry at them, saying they were "noisy." He also shouted harsh words such as, "Damn, it's so noisy I could die. Those damn kids have been making noise since earlier."

Realizing the situation, the train staff took measures by moving the children and their mother to another car. Despite this, Mr. A's disturbance did not stop. When a female passenger told him to "stop," he jumped onto the seat and even kicked.
