South Korean actor Yoon Dae-yeol took emergency action to prevent escalation of an explosion at a restaurant in Incheon, located west of Seoul, by manually shutting off two gas cylinders following the blast, authorities said.
Police said the actor's intervention was crucial in stopping gas from continuing to leak from the cylinders, which could have resulted in additional explosions or damage to the establishment and surrounding area.
Details regarding the initial cause of the explosion, the extent of damage, and whether anyone was injured were not immediately provided. The incident underscores the risks associated with gas-fueled appliances in commercial food service establishments throughout the region.
Incheon authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident.
