As four workers were injured in a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) explosion at a commercial complex in Incheon's Geumdan District, it was reported that actor Yoon Dae-yeol, who was taking a walk nearby, shut off the gas valve to prevent further fires.

According to Incheon Western Police Station on the 28th, Yoon witnessed the gas explosion accident while walking near the first floor of a three-story commercial building in Majeon-dong, Geumdan District, around 8:45 a.m. on the 27th.

In the accident, four workers, including three men in their 60s and one woman in her 60s who were dismantling facilities at a closed commercial store, sustained first- to second-degree burns on their faces and other areas.

Yoon is known to have quickly shut off the valves of two LPG cylinders that were left open outside the devastated store amid loud noises, and then reported the incident to the police. He reportedly lives nearby and was aware of the location of the LPG cylinders, allowing him to make a split-second decision during the explosion accident.

The police stated, "It is assessed that Yoon's proactive actions prevented the situation from escalating into a major fire," adding, "We are considering commendations or other rewards for his courageous behavior."

Yoon debuted in 2007 with the play "Audience Insult" and has appeared in the drama "Mr. Sunshine," as well as the films "Gun-do: The Age of Rebellion," "The Outlaws," "Asura," "Seoul's Spring," and "Broken."
