A 19-year-old soccer player who jumped into the flames to save his girlfriend has now appeared confidently before the public.

The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 16th (Korean time) that "Tahiris dos Santos Toss, a defender for French Ligue 1 club Metz, attended his first official event with his girlfriend Colin after surviving a fire disaster."

According to the report, the couple, Tahiris dos Santos Toss and Colin, appeared at the UNFP Awards held in Paris, France, dressed in matching black outfits. The burn scars remaining on their bodies clearly showed the traces of the terrible fire they had endured just a few months prior.

At the awards ceremony that day, they presented the French Female Player of the Year award to Melcy Dumouret. The media reported that "the audience at the venue gave them a warm, emotional round of applause for their courageous appearance on stage after overcoming the disaster."

Around 1:30 a.m. on January 1, a tragic large-scale fire broke out at the tourist bar "Le Constellation" in Crans-Montana, Valais, Switzerland. The fire occurred while approximately 200 people were enjoying a New Year's Eve celebration, leaving 47 dead and at least 115 injured.

At the time, dos Santos Toss, who was present at the scene, escaped the flames but, upon learning that his lover Colin was trapped inside, immediately jumped back into the building. He successfully rescued Colin, but he himself suffered deep burns covering 30% of his body and was urgently airlifted by helicopter.

The media reported that "the two are now relying on each other and are fully dedicated to rehabilitation and recovery together."
