Actor Yoon Dae-yeol has drawn attention after it was revealed that he shut off a gas valve during an LPG explosion at a commercial complex in Incheon, preventing further damage. He expressed his position cautiously, prioritizing concern for the victims.

On the 28th, Yoon posted on his personal SNS, "The owner of the restaurant was seriously injured in yesterday's gas explosion accident," and "The workers who were working there were also seriously injured." He stated, "There were people who arrived at the scene first, took care of the injured, controlled vehicle traffic, and reported the incident. I merely shut off the gas cylinder behind the building because I was concerned about secondary damage."

He continued, "The families of the victims, who are injured, suffering damages, and in sorrow, come first. I am deeply sorry and ashamed that I have been featured in the media without my intention." He added, "I am also afraid that I might distort the essence of this accident. Nothing has been resolved yet regarding this incident, and no one has recovered."

He further added, "I sincerely and truly wish for the speedy physical and mental recovery of those who were injured, those who suffered damages, and the families of the victims. I am ashamed and sorry to be exposed in the media again. Thank you."

Previously, on the 27th, an accident occurred at a commercial complex in Geomdan, Incheon, where liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) exploded, injuring four workers. It is reported that Yoon Dae-yeol, who was taking a walk near the scene at the time, discovered that the valves of two LPG cylinders outside the store were open, quickly shut them off, and then called the police.

Yoon Dae-yeol, who lives near the accident site, was familiar with the location of the LPG cylinders and is known to have responded swiftly immediately after the explosion to prevent additional damage.

In this accident, four workers—three men in their 60s and one woman in her 60s—who were dismantling facilities at a closed commercial complex sustained first- and second-degree burns on their faces and other areas. The police are investigating the specific circumstances of the accident, suspecting that the explosion occurred while work was being carried out without shutting off the gas valve.

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

The owner of the restaurant Oh-Ha-Dang was seriously injured in yesterday's gas explosion accident.

The workers who were working there were also seriously injured. There were people who arrived at the scene first, took care of the injured, controlled vehicle traffic, and reported the incident.

I merely shut off the gas cylinder behind the building because I was concerned about secondary damage.

The families of the victims, who are injured, suffering damages, and in sorrow, come first.

I am extremely sorry and ashamed that I have been featured in the media without my intention... I am also afraid that I might distort the essence of this accident.

Nothing has been resolved yet regarding this incident, and no one has recovered. I sincerely and truly wish for the speedy physical and mental recovery of those who were injured, those who suffered damages, and the families of the victims. I am ashamed and sorry to be exposed in the media again. Thank you.
