[Financial News] Last week, as heavy snow blanketed Seoul and the Greater Seoul area, heartwarming stories of people helping push stranded vehicles are now being shared online.
"Looking for the Citizen Avengers"... Four citizens push multiple vehicles
On the 6th, a video quickly spread on social media showing four citizens using their bare hands to push several cars that had slipped on a slope near Sillim Station in Seoul due to the snow.
Taking turns, these individuals pushed the cars from behind until they reached the top of the hill, then quietly left as if nothing had happened. The video was filmed near Sillim Station in Seoul on the 4th, when the heavy snow fell.
A local gym near Sillim Station shared the video and posted, "We are looking for the citizen Avengers," adding, "Stay warm this winter," and announced that it would offer these heroes a free six-month gym membership.
Netizens praised the young people's actions, saying their help was touching, while others expressed concern about the safety risks of pushing cars on slippery slopes.
'Helmet Hero' Delivery Driver... Helped Push a Car and Quietly Walked Away
There was also a hero wearing a helmet.
On the same day, a video labeled as a 'tip-off' was posted on the Instagram account of the online community Bobaedream, filmed at an apartment complex near Siheung City Hall in Gyeonggi Province.
The person who submitted the video wrote, "Delivery drivers are helping out on the snowy uphill road. I wanted to share this because it’s such a good deed."
The video was shot on a four-lane road covered in snow. The delivery driver stands by the passenger side of a stranded vehicle, appears to talk with the people inside, then moves to the back and pushes with all his strength. The car struggles to move, its tires tracing an S-shape as it slowly inches forward.
After a moment, the car gains momentum and makes it up the hill.
Netizens expressed their gratitude, commenting, "Thanks to people like this, the world still feels worth living in," and "Heartwarming—this is what life is about."
One netizen offered safety advice for driving on snowy hills, saying, "If your car’s wheels spin and you can’t make it up, keep a safe distance from the car in front, turn off the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and zigzag the steering wheel as you go up. Please stay safe on snowy roads."
