Fortunately, a man wearing black and mask came to her rescue and reprimanded the gang that what they were doing was wrong and that it was not right to hit anyone.
Although the gang warned him not to get involved and just mind his own business, the guy insisted on helping the victim and scared the four girls by telling them he would call the police.

After the assailants ran away, the man didn't leave the victim but helped her call her mom and teacher instead through her phone, informing them what happened and providing details of the incident.
Immediately after calling them, the victim's mother arrived and when the man finally took off his mask to make a 90-degree bow, they immediately recognized that he was actually a famous celebrity, and it was none other than EXO Chen!
