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.]
