This year has been a year full of incidents and accidents.

Whenever that happens, there are hidden heroes around us who risked their lives for others.



Reporter Kim Bo-mi met them again at the end of the year.

Last August, there was record heavy rain.



Citizens struggle to save a young man in his 20s who is trapped in a semi-basement room.



[You have to open it from the inside!

Open the window, open the window]



An emergency situation where the water fills up and races against each other every minute and every second.



[Seunghun-ah, hang on!

Calm down!] When the



window didn't open, hit it with a fire extinguisher,



[Oh, I'm awake, I'm awake!

done!

I lived!]



Hug the young man who was barely rescued and read it.



[Well done.

Well done]



Park Jong-yeon was among those who jumped into danger.



He earned the medal of skin disease from exposure to contaminated rainwater.



[Park Jong-yeon/Rescuing citizens isolated from heavy rain in Sillim-dong, Seoul: I got a skin disease because the septic tank flowed backwards, so I suffered for a month because of the skin disease.

First of all, since people are said to be trapped, unconsciously...

It is also a great pity that we could not save more neighbors who needed help.



[Kwon Woo-jae/Rescuing citizens isolated from heavy rain in Sillim-dong, Seoul: After hearing the news, I went back to (the house of the deceased family) a few days later. I left work alone.

I felt a bit strange.

If there were guys my age, he might have survived...

Typhoon 'Hinnamno', which struck Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province, killing 11 people.



Mr. Guo-min drove into the road that turned into a river in the heavy rain without hesitation.



He single-handedly rescued about a dozen isolated vehicles, earning him the nickname Racing Aquaman.



[Kangmin Koo/Typhoon Hinnamno Isolated Vehicle Rescue: Is there a car that can't get out? Not only me, but most of those who have a hobby like this (off-road driving) have such (rescue) thoughts...

Last September, her mother and daughter, who were stranded in a burning building, were dramatically rescued from a construction site right next to her by an excavator running with an upside down bucket.



[Ko Hyeon-guk: Originally, you shouldn't burn people, but there was no way because it was an urgent situation.

There wasn't even a ladder there.]



The New Year's wish of the heroes next to us who met again was a world that was always safe and helpful.



[Kwon Woo-jae/Sillim-dong, Seoul Heavy Rain Isolation Civil Rescue: Preventive measures must be taken at the national or local government level to prevent it from happening again...

.]



[Goo Kang-min/Typhoon Hinnam-no isolated vehicle rescue: It seems that there are quite a few people who are trying to help as much as they can, even if they are not strong enough.

I hope the world will become a little bit easier for each other to help each other.]
