A woman's note looking for the man she met on the bus
By Kwon Mee-yoo

A young woman’s open confession that she had a crush on a man who “lent” her his shoulder while riding the bus together is garnering keen attention from netizens.

At a bus stop she posted a handwritten note with her email address in an effort to locate him and it was photographed and has spread quickly on the Internet and Twitter since Thursday.

In the note, she wrote, “I am looking for ’busnam. (nam mans man) He sat in the second window seat from the back on the No. 2000 bus on Oct. 16, 2010, Saturday at Seoul Station, wearing a blue hooded shirt. He opened the window for me and even lent me his shoulder. I cannot sleep because of you!”

She also left her email address and asked the person to email her.

Someone took a photo of the handwritten message and posted it on Twitter. Tweeters retweeted the message and it spread throughout the social network service rapidly. Most people cheered the woman and hoped for her to find the man.

A similar case happened on the Internet two years ago.

A man wrote about a woman he met and fell in love with while bike riding and a woman also posted on an online community about her search for the man who helped her inflate her tire.

People who saw the two postings helped the two connect and they announced their marriage last week.

Netizens said the bus couple would also find each other, expecting another moving story like the bicycle couple.

이 쪽지에서 그 여성은 “버스남을 찾아요. 2010. 10. 16 토요일 서울역에서 2000번 버스 맨 뒷자리 바로 앞에 창 가장자리에 앉아있던 파랑색 후드티 남자분! 창문도 열어주고 어깨도 ㅋㅋ 어깨도 빌려준 남자분! 요즘 너땜에 잠이 안와!!!”라고 말했다.

그녀는 또한 이메일 주소를 남겨 놓으며 자신에게 메일을 보내달라고 요청했다.

누군가가 육필의 쪽지를 사진 찍어 트위터에 올려 놓았다. 트위터하는 사람들은 이 메시지를 다시 트위트하면서 소시얼 네트웍 서비스를 통해 급속하게 퍼져나갔다. 사람들 대부분이 이 여성을 응원하며 그 남성과 만나기를 바랐다.
