The footage circulated on online forums and social media, including X, showing several people restraining a visibly intoxicated man wearing a black jacket, who was attacking a man presumed to be the taxi driver in front of a parked vehicle.
From another angle in the video, a young man uses a chokehold technique to neutralize the attacker and stop the assault.
Netizens later identified the young man who saved the taxi driver as SUN HENG YU, former member of BLANK2Y and a contestant on the recently aired Mnet show “BOYS II PLANET”.
SUN HENG YU, a Chinese singer, debuted in 2022 with BLANK2Y. In 2023, he changed agencies and promoted for a year with the boy group DV.OL. Earlier this year, he finished 20th on “BOYS II PLANET”.
After the video circulated, many netizens visited SUN HENG YU’s Instagram account to thank him for preventing the taxi driver’s assault and expressed concern over whether he had been injured.
“I’m fine. I wasn’t hurt, so don’t worry,”
wrote SUN HENG YU, confirming that he was indeed the person who helped the taxi driver.
