Two 15 year old students were heading home at 1 a.m. when they discovered a taxi driver injured on the floor after being assaulted by a client who had refused to pay his fare. They threw down their backpacks and chased after the culprit for 40 minutes. They then found the entrance lights of a villa blinking to be suspicious and went to go check it out only to finally discover the culprit hiding inside. They tried to take him down but decided it was impossible considering that the man was significantly taller/bigger than them so they switched tactics by instead trying to calm him down, saying that the taxi driver is also at fault and that they're on his side after he offered them money to stay quiet. They then called the police and helped them catch him.

1. [+459, -7] I remember there was also news about two junior high school students from the same school who cleaned up another person's barf on the subway. Seems like that school really knows how to teach their children. Really proud of these kids.

2. [+358, -2] They're at the age where nothing is scary as long as they're together with their friends. Imagine how great the world would be if they did great deeds like this with their friends instead of bad things... I'm glad nobody got hurt. Imagine if that man had carried a weapon... ㅠㅠ A pat on the back for these rare children.

3. [+326, -2] It's a situation that even adults wouldn't want to be involved in. Really brave of these young students to accomplish what they did! Applause~~~

4. [+65, -0] Not even 4 minutes but they chased after him for 40 minutes... Imagine how scary it must've been. Amazing children.

5. [+49, -0] I'm surprised that they came up with the idea to calm him down and persuade him to trust them like that. Amazing.

6. [+37, -0] After reading so many articles about students who hang around neighborhoods in packs while smoking and showing off their motorcycles and bullying other children, this article really makes me proud.
