Busan’s super cop makes CNN

in South Korea

CNN ran a story yesterday on Busan’s “Die Hard” cop, Kim Hyun-cheol.

I will let the video speak for itself. My only commentary is: Stud!

1 Avaast September 5, 2012 at 1:35 pm: Good on him! Thanks for the video.
2 dww September 5, 2012 at 1:52 pm: Badass.
3 Seth Gecko September 5, 2012 at 3:09 pm: Cool!
But I think he’s more T.J. Hooker than Die Hard.
4 Brendon Carr September 5, 2012 at 4:06 pm: The subway surveillance video shows that Kim was also quite professional in subduing the runaway driver as well. An American cop would probably have been somewhat violent, punching or kicking the criminal to stop him from resisting and attempting to escape. Kim was purely focused on getting a grip on the driver’s arms and hands to put him in restraints.

Saturday Night Live even did a skit about it when Shatner hosted. But props to you, Mr. Kim! I’m curious to know what neighborhoods in Busan this all went down in.

did he have capsicum spray?
7 WangKon936 September 6, 2012 at 12:11 am: T.J. Hooker! Old enough to remember that too. It co-stared a young Heather Locklear! Couldn’t tell which blonde was hotter of that era… Locklear or Heather Thomas of the Fall Guy. Locklear has aged better though.
8 Hatch SZ September 6, 2012 at 1:25 am: 25 minutes on the hood/roof? wow.
9 SeoulFinn September 6, 2012 at 2:53 am: Well done, officer! Korea could certainly use more men and women like you. Maybe the disgraced Dr. Hwang Woo-suk could start his cloning business again, but for real this time.
10 feld_dog September 6, 2012 at 8:09 am: Best comment from the CNN site: “It appears the cop was firmly anchored to the hood from the weight of his enormous balls.”

you say that like it’s a bad thing.

Poor cop – he already has testicular disease…

(everyones balls are the same size – only smaller or larger if diseased).
