A teenage girl was rescued Saturday by firefighters after being trapped inside a washing machine at a self-service laundromat in Busan.

According to police, the teen voluntarily entered the machine a friend had promised to get her something good to eat if she performed the daring act. Her friends reportedly tried to unlock the door afterward, but it remained locked shut.
