Incredible!
Choi, a South Korean yoga master, was arrested on suspicion of robbery and held in a police cell in Daegu. On September 17, 2012, he escaped by squeezing through a food slot in his cell door measuring approximately 5.9 inches tall and 17.7 inches wide. To facilitate his escape, he applied skin ointment to his body to reduce friction. The escape occurred while three guards were reportedly asleep, and Choi managed to evade capture for several days, even after stealing a car and hiding in nearby mountains.
His remarkable escape, achieved through his yoga skills and physical flexibility, garnered significant media attention and highlighted vulnerabilities in prison security systems.
