The narrator rushes out of home to get to a meeting. He sees someone stuck in the elevator in his apartment building, but he runs to catch the bus rather than telling someone. But the bus that he boards gets in an accident, and everyone turns their heads instead of helping.

This is the titular story of Kim Young-ha’s 1999 short story collection titled Ellibeiteoe kkin geu namjaneun eotteoke doeeonna (What Happened to the Man Who Got Caught in the Elevator). In this humorous depiction of an absurd day in the life of an ordinary office worker, the author questions the meaning of unexpected moments in people’s daily lives .

1999년에 출간된 김영하의 소설집<엘리베이터에 낀 그 남자는 어떻게 되었나>의 표제작이다. 평범한 직장인의 황당한 하루를 유머러스하게 그린 작품으로 예상치 못한 일상이 지니는 의미에 질문을 던진다.
