Police said Sunday they were chasing two suspects who were believed to have jumped off the city's highest building without prior consent.
According to Haeundae Police Station, the two men, who are believed to be foreign nationals, are suspected of trespassing the 101-story LCT residential building and leaping from the 99th-floor observation deck with parachutes on Thursday morning.
The police were dispatched to the scene upon receiving a report about the incident but could not identify the suspects.
In 2019, two Russian nationals were fined 5 million won ($3,743) each for similar acts in the city. (Yonhap)
