Rescue of 4 people on boats and rafts on the Han River

Four people who went to the Han River on boats and rafts were rescued by firefighters.

Four contemporary artists, including Shin, who was driving a wooden boat on the Han River between Haengju Bridge and Magok Railway Bridge in Seoul, were rescued at around 7:05 p.m. last evening (5th).

Shin was driving a wooden boat with a raft with three members of the group on board, and the rescue team carried out a rescue operation, believing that the raft was at high risk of being tilted and overturned.

They were known to have gone out to see the Han River Fireworks Festival in the first place, but Shin refuted that he went out to do a personal shoot that had nothing to do with the firework festival.

He also explained that yesterday from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., the shooting was conducted near the Gimpo Haengju Bridge, about 12 kilometers away from Yeouido Hangang Park, and that he was found by firefighters and rescued on his way back.

The police checked whether they had a license or not, but decided that there was no violation of the law and gave them a disciplinary action.
