Convenience Store Clerk Gets Down on the Floor: "This Is True National Prestige"

[Anchor] Is a convenience store clerk's act of kindness toward a Japanese tourist becoming a hot topic?

[Reporter] Yes, it is a case where a small act of consideration for someone has become a warm memory that defines how they remember the country.

Recently, a Japanese tourist, identified as A, shared an experience they had at a convenience store in Incheon Airport via social media.

While traveling, the tourist stopped by a convenience store, and their younger sister accidentally dropped her wireless earphones, which slid deep into a narrow gap under a display shelf.

Seeing the sisters in distress, the convenience store clerk did not hesitate to get down on the floor and began searching for the earphones.

After searching for a long time without success, A felt sorry and said, "We will give up now," but the clerk refused to stop looking for the earphones.

In the end, the clerk even dismantled the bottom part of the display shelf and searched the dusty corner with their bare hands until they found the earphones.

A shared photos from the time and expressed their gratitude, saying, "I was so thankful that it warmed my heart."

As the story spread, other Japanese travelers shared their own experiences as well.

One user recalled a time when they lost consciousness on a train in Korea, and fellow citizens helped with emergency aid and did not leave until they confirmed the person was safe.

Netizens who saw the story showered the clerk with praise, saying, "Thanks to people like this, our national standing rises," and "This is what it means to promote national prestige."
