The opening unit comprises: a latch hook provided on the second door so as to be selectively inserted into a latch slot formed on the front surface of the first door; a pressing portion provided on a door handle provided on the front surface of the second door, the pressing portion comprising a guide protrusion having a sloping surface formed on one side thereof; and a link portion having a contact portion formed on one end thereof so as to contact the sloping surface and to move upward/downward along the sloping surface, the other end of the link portion contacting the latch hook. When the pressing portion is pressed, the contact portion moves upward along the sloping surface, and the other end of the link portion pushes the latch hook upward together with the contact portion such that the latch hook is separated from the latch slot.
