Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share this video about an ordinary guy who saved a girl's life in a subway.
There are no subtitles for this but I thought it was still worth watching, even without subtitles.
Hope you have a great rest of the week!

용감한 중학생, 화재현장 주민 구출
(Brave middle school students, saving people from houses on fire)
[SBS 출발 모닝와이드 (Start, Morning-Wide)]
This is a news-type video from SBS (Seoul Broadcasting System) that I found on YouTube. This video is a good example of how the written Korean and spoken Korean are used differently. Please see how the news reporter uses the written form when he's reporting the news, usually ending with ~니다. However, when people are speaking, they use the spoken form, usually ending with ~요.
