Pictures of the flood went viral, particularly those of a man who was later revealed to be Yonhap News reporter Park Sang Ryul, who was seen sitting atop his car in the middle of the flooded streets seemingly stranded. In reality, he was, of course, reporting the news!

Reporter Park Sang Ryul, however, was not the only one to go viral during the floods. A Korean man was also hailed as ‘Superman‘ after he managed to bring water levels down on one street by clearing an obstructed street drain with his bare hands.

This is not the first time Jinyoung has contributed to disaster relief following a flood. He donated to victims of the flood in 2020 as well, reportedly without informing JYP Entertainment, which was his managing label at the time.

Fans have expressed their pride in him, as his donation proves how kind and thoughtful he really is, particularly considering he donated in secret in 2020.
