An online video clip featuring a man who appears to be hanging onto a moving KTX bullet train at a station while at the same time demanding it stop, has gone viral.

In the clip, recorded at Gwangmyeong Station in Gyeonggi Province and uploaded to YouTube on Friday by an unidentified person, a man hanging from a departing train is heard shouting at a member of staff that the train should stop in order to take him. The staff member shouts back at him to get off.

The situation was resolved as the train finally stopped and he got off, still shouting at the member of staff. Following a short delay in train operations, they allowed the man to get on the train but he was later handed over to the train police at Gwangju Songjeong Station in South Jeolla Province and fined for violating train safety rules, according to Korea Railroad Corp. (KORAIL), the operator of the KTX bullet trains.

"The passenger appeared to have arrived at the train station late. But, we can't wait for every single passenger. What he did was extremely dangerous," a KORAIL official said.
