    Man, that payphone is in a really inconvenient location. I wonder how many people have died just trying to get to it.

      It’s might not be a payphone, it might be an emergency phone. Never been to Korea, but some really long bridges in the US will have these spread across the bridge span so that if you break down and don’t have access to a working cellphone, you can walk to them and call for assistance after pulling over. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel comes to mind Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel
