[SBS Special] Korea '2020' seen through real cam ① What
will Korea look like in 2021?
In the SBS Special broadcast on the 27th, the scene of various incidents and accidents that took place in Korea this year was illuminated with the subtitle'Republic of Korea '2020'.
Korea is at war with Corona for the first year. Although the third pandemic struck, social distancing became more urgent, but there were still people who violate the quarantine rules.
Customers in their twenties who were using the Hold'em Bar raised their voices with a confident attitude, saying, "It's hard to come again. Wait because it's over in 5 minutes." While the crackdown officials informed the business manager about the fine, they played the game without any concern.
In response, an official from the hygiene department said, "I don't understand. Is this such an unpleasant thing. Everyone is keeping their promises, but I was upset about why they are doing that".
When the word corona first appeared on the news, I didn't know that I would miss the daily routine for so long. Daegu was the first place to face a crisis. The number of confirmed cases nationwide surpassed 5,000 within two weeks of the outbreak of 32 cases due to the exclusive infection of the Shincheonji Church.
Accordingly, all of the paramedics and medical staff gathered in Daegu to overcome the crisis, with both medical personnel and equipment being extremely scarce, and no treatment or vaccine. And as if responding to their efforts, the whole situation was reversed and the number of local infections recorded zero.
Thus, we prepared for the breakup with Corona, but another crisis came after the Sarang Church Gwanghwamun rally on August 15th. And in this situation, even those who refused corona testing with false information appeared.
However, the crisis evolved once more with the active quarantine of the people. The warnings from nature began without ever forgetting the pandemic's fear.
The longest rainy season in history has turned the country into a sea of water, and property losses due to torrential downpour have exceeded 1.2 trillion won.
Gapyeong Fire Station in the harsh summer. They couldn't forget the day. Firefighters dispatched after receiving reports that the houses were covered with soil due to a landslide caused by rain. They tried to save lives by the story of a grandmother, a daughter, and a 3-year-old grandson running a pension under vomit. However, with so much vomit, the rescue became difficult, and while removing the debris, the arm was found.
However, when they found the victim, they were already unconscious. In such a situation, firefighters wanted to leave one more belongings of their families to the bereaved, so they found notebooks and toys containing memories in the debris, washed them clean, and delivered them to the bereaved families, and the bereaved families who accepted them thanked the firefighters. I conveyed my heart.
Only 50 people disappeared from the heavy rain this year. And two firefighters were sadly sacrificed while saving people.
Firefighters struggled all four seasons from the fear of fire. And the wildfire that spread in Goseong once again following last year. In a situation where severe damage is expected due to strong winds, fire fighting mobilization order No. 2 was declared, and fire engines and fire fighting personnel mobilized from all over the country began to extinguish together.
At this time, we witnessed fire engines from all over the country heading to Goseong, which created a feeling of feeling. And thanks to their efforts, although the manpower that was put in compared to last year's forest fire was about one-third, it extinguished the fire in 12 hours without any human damage and reduced the damage to a minimum.
This was the result of a change in command that became clear from this year. The chief of the fire department can direct the head of the city and provincial fire department, so in case of a major disaster, the mobilization fire fighting force is organized in advance so that rapid dispatch is possible.
However, there were also cases where the system could not be stopped. A firefighter from Incheon said that he could not forget the fire in the Yonghyeon-dong villa last September.
The scene of the urgent report of a fire in the kitchen. The fire was already spreading, and two children were spotted by firefighters attempting to search for lives. One of them was in an urgent situation to suspect that even a large amount of bleeding was detected around her and even an airway burn. And the firefighter who discovered these children eagerly prayed for the child to wake up quickly.
A fire broke out in a house with only two elementary school children without adults. Called the'Ramen Brothers Fire Accident', this accident was simply a fire accident, but it was also a child abuse accident. And because of this accident, my 8-year-old younger brother finally left for heaven in October.
In 2020, when there were exceptionally many child abuse accidents. Jung In, who was delighted, closed her eyes after being abused by her adopted parents after leaving a scar on her body at the age of 16 months. The child's foster mother shed tears, saying, "If the child was sick and difficult, the face could not be recognized." The child had three reports of suspected child abuse before his death, but the tragedy was unstoppable.
Therefore, the expert said, "If it is reported by someone, it may be a tip. If you hear only the custodian excuses and tell lies when you go out on the field investigation, the child will be in danger of being in danger, and the child will be investigated. And you have to separate and adjust.”
We lost one child in the'Cheonan Travel Bag Child Abuse' case and another child in the Changnyeong child abuse case. However, in the case of the Changnyeong case, the child was saved thanks to the adults who helped the child.
A child who escaped from himself after suffering abuse such as torture. A witness who saw this child for the first time said, "I had a bruise like wearing sunglasses. When I got closer, I said'It's okay.' I said,'You're not okay.'" "Whoever looked at this kid would have thought that this kid was in some dangerous situation. "He said his help was not a big deal.
In addition, the owner of the convenience store, where the witness and the child fled together, said, "I watched the outside network because I was afraid of someone coming until the witness reported and the police came. I was worried that the child would continue to say that it is okay, but it feels like this is normal, so I will go home. This is done," he said. And he said to the child, "It's not your fault. I told him to jump to the convenience store next time, and thank you."
For this incident, stepfather and mother were sentenced to six and three years in prison, respectively.
In September of this year, there was a child who left the child in an absurd accident. Children and mothers who were planning to return home after packing hamburgers by implementing social distancing. Mom went to buy a hamburger and the brother waited for her in front of a hamburger shop.
But a few minutes later, one of the brothers became bloody and died. A car driven by a drunkard in his 50s struck a streetlight and hit the sidewalk, and the child died under this streetlight.
Even after one year of the enforcement of the Yoon Chang-ho Act, drunk driving accidents did not show any signs of improvement. After the coronavirus spread, drunk driving was on the rise. The police explained that "accidents are occurring more frequently due to the false perception that there will be no drinking crackdown due to Corona 19."
Six months ago, Jung Jung sent her mother to heaven in a drunk driving accident. And the father, who was riding with his mother, became paralyzed. At the time, the vehicle was running at 190 kilometers per hour, and he fled after the accident and appeared to the scene staggering only 15 minutes after the accident.
He was intoxicated and unable to manage his body. And the perpetrator admits to the current drinking charge, but denies the runaway charge, and it turns out that the situation is leading a trial.
Another drinking accident occurred in the middle of Gangnam recently. Zeng Yi-Lin, a Taiwanese man in his 20s, died in a drunk driver's vehicle. He was a student studying theology in Korea.
In response, Zeng Yi-Lin's parents cried, saying, "I wish the offender suffered a very heavy punishment. My daughter couldn't come back. I hope my daughter's sacrifice is not a waste because I know how terrifying drunk driving is. I hope there are no other sacrifices." Spilled.
Two years ago, the death of a soldier on vacation due to a drunk driving traffic accident occurred, and this incident led to the creation of the Yoon Chang-ho law, which strengthened punishment for drunk driving. However, the punishment for drunk driving did not change significantly before and after the enforcement of the Yoon Chang-ho Act.
The expert explained, "The reason why the sentence cannot be sentenced according to the law is that it is regarded as an offense rather than an intentional offender. Therefore, the sentence has no choice but to be sentenced within the range of 4 to 8 years, which is the sentencing standard."
In Korea, which is facing the third pandemic, medical staff are still having a hard time. But you can't give up easily.
In response, an expert said, "Personal quarantine is very important. Social distancing is our top priority, so I hope that you wear a mask well, do not have frequent meetings, and endure various inconveniences."
And the broadcast pledged for tomorrow to come, saying that a year when citizens' strength gathered more than ever, and that those efforts will surely be the answer to prepare for tomorrow.
