Park Geon-young, a reporter from Channel A who was at Gwanghwamun Square, was wearing only a raincoat without an umbrella, getting soaked while live broadcasting the monsoon situation. Park was conducting the broadcast with both his head and raincoat wet. He reported, "The rain is so heavy that it is difficult to keep my eyes open."
At that moment, an unexpected event occurred. A hand holding an umbrella suddenly appeared behind Park. The person holding the umbrella was a middle-aged man wearing a red short-sleeved T-shirt.

After confirming that the umbrella was properly covering the reporter, the man turned around and looked toward a distant spot on the opposite side. Then, while Park continued his live broadcast, the man stood still with a smile on his face, holding the umbrella in place.
Although it could be seen as a broadcasting accident, Park Geon-young finished the live broadcast with a smile, trying to hold back laughter at the middle-aged man's warm-hearted consideration. This moment was aired live without any editing.
Netizens who saw this commented, "Maybe he thought of his daughter when he saw the female reporter getting wet in the rain," "What a lovely man," "So touching," and "Reminds me of my dad," expressing warm feelings.
