Gyeongbu Line Mugunghwa derailment ‥ Landslide warning ‘serious’ Yes, then I’ll talk more with the reporter
Reporter Yukyung Lee is with me.
After winning, it rained heavily all night long.
First, let’s look at the national damage situation.
◀ Reporter ▶
As rain clouds, which were concentrated in the metropolitan area yesterday, descended to the central region, literally ‘water bombs’ poured down in the Chungcheong, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongbuk areas.
As the rain clouds filled with steam stayed, a lot of rain of more than 400mm fell in various places, including 440mm in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do, 430mm in Gunsan, and 437mm in Cheongyang, Chungcheongnam-do.
There were also a series of non-related accidents.
In Otan-ri, Yeongdong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, an SUV driving in the rain slipped and crashed into a telephone pole.
A man in his 30s died in the accident, and two others were seriously injured.
Also, around 11:00 last night, the Mugunghwa train heading from Shintanjin Station to Maepo Station on the Gyeongbu Line derailed.
The accident occurred when earth and sand fell on the tracks due to torrential rain.
As KORAIL decided to suspend train service in this section to deal with the accident, most of the KTX and regular trains going to and from the Gyeongbu Line were suspended today.
In addition, due to concerns regarding flooding of tracks and landslides, train service on the Honam Line between Seodaejeon and Iksan, as well as on the Yeongdong and Taebaek Lines, has also been suspended.
Those who have plans to use the train today should check the Korail website to see if the schedule has changed.

Yes, viewers who mightn’t sleep due to the heavy rain that fell all night sent many reports until late at night.
First of all, this is Wonjucheon in Bongsan-dong, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do last night.
Muddy water swollen by the rainwater flows quickly and swallows up the riverside sidewalk and parking lot.
This is a large apartment complex in Dalseong-gun, Daegu last night.
All the lights went out and the area around the complex was covered in darkness.
The fire was rectified within an hour.
Last night, not only Daegu, but also Namyangju and Yangju apartments in Gyeonggi Province reported power outages overnight.
Next is a villa complex in Naun-dong, Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do, where it rained over 400mm overnight.
The soil that flowed from the hill next to the villa poured into the complex.
No one was injured, but 8 households were evacuated in preparation for any further damage.
So far, 327 residents have been temporarily evacuated due to rain damage, and 243 of them have yet to return home.
