His motives were good. His decisions, however, were bad. It would have been better for all concerned if Mr. Kim had chosen to be a "coward."
And if not, then he should never have left the road.
It's not "small," it's real life. The lesson is that mother nature is not to be trifled with, especially in winter. She punishes "heroism" with death, unless it's tempered by commmon sense.
Oh, here we go again. Another person who has no clue what they are talking about regarding this situation.
