A male resident in a South Korean apartment complex faces backlash after assisting an intoxicated woman who mistakenly entered his unit, only to be accused of misconduct online.
The Unexpected Encounter
Surveillance footage and chat logs reveal the woman, heavily intoxicated, entered the man’s apartment by pressing the wrong doorbell. Despite his efforts to help her leave safely, she later vented frustration in building chats, sparking widespread misunderstanding.
The resident recounted the ordeal: “I was sound asleep when the doorbell rang past 2 a.m. Opening the door, I found a drunk woman inside. Shocked, I guided her out, but she couldn’t grasp the situation due to her state.”
Repeat Incident and Accusations
The same woman returned around 2:40 a.m. on March 29, 2026, repeating the mistake. “She accused me of assault, insisting she had entered by error and claiming, ‘I came here by mistake.’ It terrified me,” the man stated. He urged skeptics to review CCTV footage for proof.
In another unit’s chat, he added: “Even if I have eyes, this doesn’t happen every day. Why treat helpers like perverts? After seven years here, this is outrageous.”
Netizens Divided
Online reactions split sharply. Many sympathized: “Good deeds shouldn’t lead to suspicion—report it directly.” Others cautioned: “That mindset is understandable, but avoid outsiders to prevent misunderstandings.”
The post, detailing the resident’s frustration, quickly went viral, highlighting risks of aiding strangers in residential buildings.
