In 'Ask Anything', a righteous man who rescued 34 people from the Yeongdeok bushfire disaster appears.

The 317th episode of KBS Joy 'Ask Anything', which airs at 8:30 p.m. today (19th), features a shipowner working with a righteous man who made a rescue effort in the Yeongdeok bushfire disaster.

Dozens of elderly residents of a coastal village in Yeongdeok were rescued with the efforts of foreign workers in the situation of massive damage caused by forest fires that began in Uiseong, but Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Soo-geun were also mentioned in the news, so they immediately noticed, saying, `I saw it in the newspaper.'




We rescued 34 peopleNot only the MCs but also the production team applaud the writer who reveals ". On top of that, Seo Jang-hoon asked "Isn't this enough to give you a permanent residence card?" and the shipowner who came with it explained "You will receive an F-2 visa equivalent to a permanent residence on the day of recording"F-2 visa is an unlimited stay visa, and there is no limit on occupation or period of time."

Originally, it had to expire after three years of visa period and return to its home country, but this incident led to an unlimited visa for Korea. In response, Lee Soo-geun asks "Isn't it impossible to go back to his hometown even if he wants to go back to his hometown because of his visa?" "I was inclined to stay in Korea, but I'm worried because I can't talk to my family hastily."

Asked to explain the situation at the time before counseling, the shipowner said, `There was no emergency evacuation order at the time, but the sudden gust of wind in the emergency waiting situation started to engulf the village and began to isolate", "At a time when manpower was put in to control the fire, the storyteller and righteous man, who were ship owners, eventually moved to the site using private leisure boats to begin rescue efforts."




The righteous man was also scared of fire, but there were many people in the village, and he participated in the rescue thinking that he should not be hurt," he continues with his poor Korean skills.

Lee Soo-geun and Seo Jang-hoon express their gratitude once again, saying, "It must have been scary, but I can't follow it hastily.'
