--why1234 19 hours ago I asked him to use Uber because I couldn't communicate clearly, but he didn't. Since he paid directly using the vehicle's payment terminal, I couldn't process it through Uber. I reported it to Uber, but since the money wasn't paid through them, they couldn't refund me. I just arrived in Taiwan and now I'm going to report this to my bank to get the overseas dispute money back.

_why1234 19 hours ago ④ I had already arrived at Incheon Airport at that time. I had already walked to the check-in counter and when he ran to the check-in counter and asked me to go back, he kept saying "card card," and I thought I didn't bring my card. So I followed him and paid with my card. He gave me a receipt written as 0 yuan. I told him I had a credit card linked to my Uber account and said I would pay him—this is a post a Taiwanese tourist uploaded to SNS yesterday—but it's not there. He didn't understand English either. My original plan was to go to Seoul Station. But I changed my plan and went to Incheon Airport. Uber already charged me. I kept telling him

After much persuasion, we barely managed to meet

Here it is.

Q. What was the situation at that time?

I got an Uber call. Around 7:20.

Q. What was the situation at that time?

With that transaction amount, I went inside the airport, and after searching for about 10 minutes, I found it in a corner over there. Thank you for your hard work.

Total fare:

Winner/Stock fare (Trip/Extra Fare) 4,800 won / 620,000 won Tolls: 66,000 won Date: 2026-06-30 08:54 So why is 690,000 won (Drop off Time) I got a bit excited back then. I thought that person left without paying and got all worked up about it. Driver license number: 14-Seoul-05150

Here, take it.

Q. Why 69 million won? I guess while doing it, an extra 001 got tacked on. Didn't know about that.

Here, Insu

Q. Why is it 690,000 won exactly? [So you added the extra 0 by mistake, right?]

(ISSUE) Here, take over

Q. Why is it 690,000 won in the first place?

That's right

Here, issue

Seoul

Q. Why is it 690,000 won? I calculated it correctly. But the money isn't coming in from Uber so...

Here, take it.

Q. Why is it 69,000 won? I brought a taxi passenger here again and it said "[Payment] failed," so we settled it for 69,200 won instead.

( ISSUE ) Here, it's an issue

Let's absolutely not engage in violations of the Transportation Business Act (refusing passengers, dropping them off midway, unfair fares)

Q. Why exactly 69,000 won? I'm saying I didn't get it right because I was too busy trying to match it multiple times

Here's the issue

+ Screen golf strong

In other words, I got a call for Uber, but while heading to my destination, it changed mid-route from Seoul Station to Incheon Airport,

Here, issue

What they're saying is that automatic payment didn't work at Incheon Airport, which is the final destination

In shock, I frantically looked for tourists and accidentally attached one extra ㅇ by mistake

The taxi driver said he was really sorry to the confused tourist and left this message

Q. What do you want to say to that tourist? Since I made a mistake, they might get a bad impression of Korea kinda.

Here, take over.

Q. If there's something you want to say to that tourist, there are many things to apologize for. I also thought that person probably didn't do it on purpose.

Here, insurance

Q. What do you want to say to that tourist? I should apologize 100 times, say I was wrong.

Here it is

Q. What would you like to say to that tourist? If they come back to Korea, I would apologize and say that we made a mistake this time.

Q. What would you like to say to that tourist? Going forward, I will make sure there are no more incidents like this, and I will earnestly and kindly serve foreign visitors with such remarks.

Thread 2dskje32 2 hours Reply to @_.why1234 Hello, I am Han Dong-woo, a reporter for YTN, a Korean news channel. I saw the post you made on social media and personally met with the taxi driver. He specifically asked me to deliver an apology to you. If you have any thoughts after watching this video, please feel free to record a video and send it to my email address. My email address is "[hdo86@ytn.co.kr](emailhdo86@ytn.co.kr)". After receiving the video, we will create a YouTube video and convey your good intentions to the taxi driver. Thank you! View original

why1234 1 hour Hello. Thank you. I watched the YouTube video and came to understand that it was a mistake on your part. I also came to think of this as an exceptional case that happened by chance rather than a common occurrence. So I never had the intention to blame or criticize you. What I wanted from the beginning was to receive a refund. People who helped me inquired with the taxi company, and I also received a response that the refund has already been processed. Once I receive confirmation from my Taiwan bank that the refund was successfully received, I plan to delete this post as well. I believe both sides had misunderstandings in this situation. Please make sure to convey to you that I was not blaming you at that time. I also received your apology well. Thank you.
