It turns out that Lee Ji Han, who was already known to have died in the Itaewon crowd surge, saved a little girl before he died.

The Itaewon crowd surge in Seoul, South Korea, on October 29 killed over 150 people and made the whole world sad.

Most of the people who died in this tragedy were in their 20s and 30s, like the actor Lee Ji Han. Now, a witness recounted the story of the actor's brave action just before he died.

Before, it was known that Lee Ji Han didn't go to the Halloween party because he was on his way home from filming and that his house was in the Itaewon area.

A person who was at the scene said that the actor was walking by when he saw a little girl stuck in the crowd and came to help her.

The girl was saved in the end, but the actor died.

A source also stated that the little girl's family had told the family of Lee Ji Han that they were sorry and thanked them.

So far, this news has been spreading on social media, but the actor's agency hasn't said anything about it. Still, Netizens show respect for the young actor.

Here are some thoughts from Internet users:

He is an angel who will return to heaven after saving a person's life. He will be a bright star in the sky from now on.

He was only a few steps from his own home… There are only a few steps left. Please rest in peace, you were such a kind person.

This makes me want to cry.

Thank you for being brave, and may you rest in peace. Crossing my fingers that you will live a better life in an another life.

Lee Ji Han lived right in Itaewon, close to where the tragedy took place.

People have said before that Lee Ji Han is currently filming for the MBC drama "Season of Kokdu." He used to get a lot of attention when he was on "Produce 101 Season 2," an audition show on Mnet.
