Four people rescued from ”unauthorized boat” on Han River on the day of fireworks festival in South Korea

On the 5th of this month, when the Seoul World Fireworks Festival was being held in the Yeouido area of Seoul, South Korea, a boat was launched into the Hangang River without permission, and several people on board were rescued by fire authorities.
According to the Gyeonggi Fire and Disaster Headquarters on the 6th, the Gimpo Fire Station Han River Rescue Team was patrolling from Gimpo Bridge to Gayang Bridge in Gimpo City at around 7:05 pm the previous day when Mr. A (
The man, including Mr. A, was found driving a boat tied to a wooden boat. The wooden boat had a power of 4.9 and was operated by Mr. A. The boat was tied to a wooden boat.
Three people were on board. The boat, which was made by hand from plywood and other materials, was tilted and unstable, according to fire officials. Fire officials put the three people on the boat into a fire rescue boat and removed them from the boat.
The government recommended that the wooden boat be anchored in a safe place. However, the wooden boat also had problems such as the engine of the electric outboard motor stopping while moving, and the fire department eventually removed the wooden boat and the boat from the rescue boat.
The fire department then determined that Mr. A and his group had been operating a wooden boat and an unauthorized boat to watch the Yeouido Fireworks Festival in Seoul.
They were handed over to the Han River Police. However, A claimed to the Seoul Shinmun that he had come out to take pictures, not to watch the fireworks. A had driven a wooden boat to Haengju.
He said that the rescue team had already finished work when it was discovered by the rescue team, and that the rescue team had not yet finished work.
"They were trying to return home, but something was wrong with the engine and it wouldn't start properly."
