[앵커]

The condition of the elementary school siblings is known to have improved a lot due to the fire that burned while trying to make ramen last month.

The hearts of the citizens for the recovery of the brothers have been gathered and they have already accumulated more than 200 million won in donations.

On the 14th of last month, a brother from elementary school who was seriously injured in a fire while trying to cook ramen alone.

Children who were treated in the intensive care unit and who became ill across the country are said to have been transferred to a general hospital room during the Chuseok holidays.

A 10-year-old brother blinked after 11 days and was able to say a word or two, and his 8-year-old brother, who was unable to regain consciousness, was also found to have improved.

[구청 관계자 : 위중한 상황인데 의식은 돌아왔다는 정도…. 어쨌거나 위험한 고비는 넘겼다고 저희도….]

However, it is still difficult to communicate clearly, such as barely rocking his head, and even the older brother, who regained consciousness for the first time, suffered a 40% burn of his body and needs long-term treatment.

Medical experts believe it will take longer for the siblings to return to their full routine.

[병원 관계자 : (일반적으로) 일단 3도 화상이 되면 표피뿐만 아니라 진피까지 파괴된 상태이기 때문에 대부분 피부이식이 필요할 정도로 심각하다고 봅니다.]

Children’s desire for recovery accumulates.

The ‘Haksan Nanum Foundation’, which receives designated donations, raised 140 million won in three weeks, and the majority of donors are individuals, not groups.

Donation inquiries, which decreased over the holiday season, are also on the rise again.

[장보경 / 학산나눔재단 과장 : 92% 정도가 개인이시고…. 아이들이 일단 빨리 일어났으면 좋겠다는 말과 지속해서 치료비 부분에 신경 써달라는 의견도 주시고요.]

Even for a ‘Warm Day’ non-profit corporation, more than 60 million won has been accumulated, donated by 1,000 citizens.

The donation will be used not only for treatment costs, but also for health care and rehabilitation treatment costs.

[김광일 / 따뜻한 하루 대표 : 어머니하고 상의해서 100% 다 치료비와 간병인 비용, 차후에 화상치료, 성형수술 포함, 심리치료까지 사용하기로 했습니다.]

20 days have passed since the accident.

The two boys gave up the big hurdles due to their more serious feelings, but were so hurt that they have no choice but to see progress.

I hope his interest continues until he can go to school, where he was unable to recover, and eat delicious food to his heart’s content.
