Two men in their 50s were found in cardiac arrest after entering the water at a beach near Hwanggeum Uljin Snow Crab Park in Uljin County, South Korea.
Uljin Coast Guard and the Gyeongbuk Fire Department said they received a report at 10:29 a.m. on Sept. 5 that two adult men had gone into the water and could not get back out. Rescue crews from the fire service and coast guard found both men after waves pushed them onto the beach.
The crews performed advanced resuscitation at the scene before taking the men to hospital. The report did not provide an update on their conditions.
Uljin County closed its five designated beaches on Aug. 23. Officials still expected tourists and residents to visit the coast, so they placed 10 safety personnel at major beaches through Sept. 13. Mangyang Beach, however, is an ordinary beach rather than a designated one, and no safety personnel had been assigned there.
