Park In-hwan (박인환), head of the Korea Post Postal Service, visited the Gunsan Daeya Post Office in North Jeolla Province on April 7 and encouraged postman Han Sang-geun (한상근), who saved a citizen at the scene of an incident believed to have been a gas explosion, he said on April 8.

Han was delivering mail in the area of Hoehyeon-myeon, Gunsan, in February when he heard a huge explosion. At the scene of the incident, believed to have been a gas explosion, a man in his 60s was collapsed and bleeding heavily from his forehead. Han helped with the rescue effort, including giving first aid to the victim, who was dazed from bleeding and shock.

Park said, "I am proud of postman Han Sang-geun, who protected a precious life through courageous action even at a dangerous scene after an explosion." He said, "Postmen are fulfilling a watchman role throughout our society and delivering a positive influence."
