Kim Dae-beom practices 'rewarding a good deed with patronage' by visiting restaurants of heroes who subdued a knife attacker

Comedian Kim Dae-beom has stepped forward for the citizens who prevented further damage by subduing a knife attacker. He visited the restaurant of the hero who risked danger to save the lives of others, had a meal, and even delivered a message of support. Rather than stopping at verbal encouragement, he practiced a heartwarming good deed by providing strength through actual consumption.

On the 16th, Kim Dae-beom posted a verification photo on his social media with the message, "I came to eat at the restaurant of the hero from the Incheon knife attack incident." He followed up by actively recommending the restaurant, saying, "It is a restaurant with the best value for money. If you are nearby, I highly recommend you come and have a meal." This was an action intended to provide practical help to the citizens who showed courage at the scene of the knife attack.

Previously, following the incident, Kim Dae-beom shared the name and location of the restaurant and suggested joining the so-called 'rewarding a good deed with patronage.' 'rewarding a good deed with patronage' refers to a movement of concentrating consumption to support shops that perform good deeds or socially meaningful actions. Kim Dae-beom ensured that interest in the hero did not end as one-time encouragement by being the first to visit the restaurant and keeping his promise.

His support did not stop at just one place. He also showed support for a udon restaurant operated by another citizen who helped subdue the perpetrator. He promoted both restaurants together so that the citizens who acted for the safety of others in a dangerous moment could receive proper encouragement and attention.

The incident occurred on the 13th at a complex commercial facility in Guwol-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon. At the time, a man in his 50s wielded a weapon, creating an urgent situation that resulted in multiple casualties and injuries. Merchants and citizens at the scene directly subdued the suspect using chairs and meal trays, contributing to preventing further damage in a situation that could have led to even greater loss of life.

Subduing a perpetrator armed with a weapon is inevitably terrifying for anyone. The courage of the citizens, who acted for others while risking the possibility of being injured themselves, left a great resonance even after the incident. Kim Dae-beom's visit also adds meaning in that he expressed gratitude and respect for that courage through everyday consumption.

Kim Dae-beom, who debuted as a KBS open recruitment comedian in 2004, was active in shows such as 'Gag Concert' and is currently active as a YouTuber. As his interest in the heroes of the knife attack scene led to actual visits and consumption, attention is also gathering on his good influence in supporting the courage of citizens.
