Busan is still in adoration of high school student, Kim Young Hee, affectionately dubbed "Red Backpack Female High School Student," who rushed into the street to help a bus driver who was trying to get through to a drunk driver. As she helped steer the bus driver away from danger and yelled out vital information helping in the capture of the drunk driver moments later, she is being applauded as a hero.
SBS's 8 News even got in contact with her and aired an interview recently. When asked why she helped the bus driver at the time, she said, "It made me think of my dad, so I instinctively ran in. As I kept watching the situation, it would be bad if [the bus driver] got hurt, right? I thought he was facing too much danger, so I just ran in first."
