南韓提供線上叫車和停車服務的公司「Kakao Mobility」，原先將推出私家車共乘服務，但該國許多計程車司機擔憂生意將受影響而走上街頭抗議。1個月內就發生兩起計程車運將自焚身亡的悲劇。圖為本月9日在首爾的美國駐韓大使館外發生的第2起自焚案件，林姓司機在車內引火自焚，消防隊員趕忙滅火和救人。（法新社）

According to police, the 64-year-old driver, surnamed Lim, set fire to his car while he was sitting in it on a street near Gwanghwamun Station at around 6 p.m Wednesday.
