On the 5th of Children's Day, a fire broke out in a villa in Seogwipo, Jeju, where four family members were killed, including two young children.

According to the Seogwipo Police Station, a fire report was received from the fire department on the 3rd floor of a villa in Seoho-dong, Seogwipo City at about 3:50 am today (5th).

After receiving the report, the fire department moved four people, A (39) and wife B (35), who were at the scene of the accident, and four and three-year-old daughters to a nearby hospital, but eventually died.


The family was confirmed to have been burned all over the body by heat.

According to the fire department, all three visits to the house were open during the fire.

The fire department estimates that the smoke was easily accessible because the door of the family was also open.

Police and fire departments are investigating the exact cause of the accident, including where the fire started, and the cause of death in the family.
