Eko Hot Blog reports that the men, aged 62 and 56, are believed to have kept warm by lighting a fire and building a tent out of plastic. They are said to be in stable condition.
It comes during a period of national mourning for South Korea, after more than 150 people were killed in a crush in the capital Seoul last week.
The two miners were stranded nearly 200 metres (650 feet) underground after part of the zinc mine they were working in collapsed on 26 October in Bonghwa, in the east of the country.
They were finally rescued on the night of 4 November – more than nine days after their ordeal began. Both were able to walk out of the mine and were taken to a local hospital. Their doctor said they should make a full recovery.
President Yoon Suk-yeol called their rescue “truly miraculous”.
“Thank you and thank you again for coming back safely from the crossroads of life and death,” he wrote on Facebook.
