It has been said that, sometimes, as we traverse this Earth in our daily existence, we get an opportunity to meet an “angel” in disguise. Well, for one young Korean artist at least, that adage came true ;).
If you can recall, very early on in her budding career as a member of the rookie K-Pop group “Girls’ Generation”, there were reports of Tiffany going out of her way to help a drunken old man that she stumbled across on the street, one cold winter’s day in Seoul.
Well, that incident of Tiffany’s “Good Samaritan” deed has so far been unsubstantiated, until now :). Courtesy of oniontaker, a well-known and respected blogger and translator in the K-Pop universe, the following series of sketches by the said Korean artist documents his chance encounter with our dear Tiffany (Stephanie) Hwang and her angelic good deed to a random stranger that she just encountered.
Truly, Tiffany deserves the sobriquet of “earthly angel” (as do the rest of the 9 ladies of Soshi :D) for she is a living example of Agape Love in action, something which Our Good Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, taught all those who follow Him, to embody and emulate :).
The account goes that the artist, whilst on his way somewhere, came across the old man sprawled on the street. Wanting to do the right thing, he then called the emergency services for an ambulance to bring the man to hospital for some medical attention, and hung around until it arrived.
After awhile, being more concerned about getting a smoke, he walked into the nearest convenience store for cigarettes. Whilst there, he observed that some passer-byers did stop to stare at the old man, but eventually left, leaving the victim alone.
Suddenly, the door to the convenience store abruptly swung open and out stepped an extremely cheerful young lady with a perfect set of “eye smiles” (guess who ?). As the artist looked on, this person approached the old man and proceeded to warm his frozen hands with the warm coffee drink cans that she had just purchased for herself only moments ago. Not satisfied with only doing that, she next removed her coat and draped it around the old man’s body to keep him warm, without any regard to her personal comfort. When she noticed the artist staring at her from the entrance of the convenience store, her reply was an extremely shy “eye smile”.
It was then that the “miracle” started to happen. Passer-byers started stopping to offer help to both Tiffany and the old man. Even the convenience store staff chipped in by providing more warmed coffee cans to help keep the old man warm. This continued until the ambulance finally arrived to take the old man to hospital for treatment.
The final panel of this amazing set of drawings shows the artist looking into the distance, no doubt wondering who this “earthly angel” was whom he had just encountered. Be that as it may, the incident so affected him that he actually deigned it fit to document it in a graphic format.
Well, we now know who that “good samaritan” was (none other than our dear Tiffany Hwang), her good deed of Agape Love that day to a total stranger forever recorded for posterity by an unlikely witness to the deed :D.
All I can say to this is that, here is one more reason why the world at large has fallen head-over-heels in love with our favourite “eye smiles” Soshi gal :). Tiffany jjang !
Do check out the said graphic strip below and relive, once again, the kindness and love that is Tiffany Hwang Mi-young ;). Enjoy !

Best manga / comic strip i ever seen, and not just coz im snsd biased.
Even without words, just a few simple pictures and scenes, can say and mean a lot. If more people were like Tiffany and did what she did, thought what she thought, there would be less of the unfortunate that we see today. Victims of conformity follow what others do, in this case, people avoid situations as they worry it may get them involved in something serious therefore, simply avoiding means no involvement. However doing a simple good deed for another human being like simply keeping them warm can mean a complete different conclusion such as making the situation less worse or even avoiding the worst of the worst like death.
Tiffany Hwang for President!!!
Indeed tiffany for prez we love u tiffy
I’d vote.
TTTTTTTIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFAAAAAANNNNNNYYYYY
Woooww she’s indeed a really walking angel…Her “heart of gold” totally inspired me to be a better person…Fany is my best mentor of life^^~ She is such a good example of an idol…
I’ve seen the story been broadcast some years ago.. but this comic is even more beautiful.. Fany is beautiful.
can you give me link to that broadcast some years ago??
i stumbled on to it by accident on youtube and it has no eng subs and title are in korean.. its one of those short news on snsd.. but it was really cute.
Reminded me of this:
Wow! She makes all those children like angels!!!! Hats off to you tiffany!!!
Tiffany is just amazing!
I first learned of this yesterday (whilst listening to Beethoven’s “Appassionata” Sonata, movement 1), and as I did, I nearly cried. It made me feel so good, finding this out; there are those out there who care, who are not ignorant, who know what life is truly about.
There are many reasons I look up to these girls.
as someone working with healthcare i wish more people was doing like tiffany
it should definitevly save more lives.
THANKS tiffany you are my hero now
Tiffany is really JJANG ^^ she is my favorite ^^ fighting tiffany, no matter what happen. we sones will support you and SNSD ^^
i love tiffany and this comic but didn’t snsdkorean post this same comic 2 years ago? i still have the comic files on my laptop…
anyways, it’s such a perfect comic. It did a great job portraying tiffany noona’s heart of gold ❤
cheers to the cartoonist.
What a great post.
i rally really can imagine the real situation..
it’s make me remind of one phrase which said
“even world can be a heaven just with one people who want to share care and love with other, without expecting anything in return”
and i think it’s really really happened..
thinking about it i reflect to myself more and more…
p.s. i almost shade my tears just imagine what tiffany noona has done..
one of the many reasons that I love these girls, especially this special angel in disguise by the name of Tiffany 🙂
and also can’t forget to give kudos to the guy that called the ambulance and waited until it came 🙂
But he still left him freezing there whilst he went to have a smoke. If he had a lighter he could’ve made a fire or something to warm the old guy. Or brought him indoors? Yeah, why didn’t they take him indoors if he was that close to the store?
its the same reason as what i wrote up there. its probably just my own opinion but people walk by because they dont want to get involved. if for example in an unlikely event, you walk past an unconscious person on the floor, of course the first reaction is to help however in the worst case scenario, you wont know whether the person was attacked and whether that same attacker would come after you if you helped etc. therefore the safest option is ignore = no involvement. there was a similar case with a Chinese infant a few years back where she so seriously injury to the blink of death while over 100 people just walked past and completely ignored.
No, I meant after they started helping him, why didn’t they bring him inside?
The crowd, I mean. After Tiffany stepped up and helped. (I know she probably couldn’t have dragged him indoors herself, and it would look kind of weird, anyway…)
it isnt always good to move injured people since they could have injuries on the neck caused by the fall.
i think they did everything correctly in this case
Oh, only now I see your reply to the above. Thanks.
Reblogged this on Asian Addiction.
Like I said before, Tiffany is a walking angel. The only plastic surgery she did was cut of her angel wings but we all can see it even of she tries to hide. Humble, Beautiful, and Kind. Whoever marry Tiffany jeany would be he luckiest guy on earth! 🙂
Did tiffany do plastic surgery???
