Hello everyone?
It’s 9 o’clock on December 21st.
The Korean Peninsula was frozen solid as the Arctic cold wave struck.
Today (21st), you must have felt the bitter wind all day long, and heavy snow fell on the west coast and Jeju Island.
Heavy snow warnings have been issued everywhere, and up to 20 centimeters of snow is forecast until tomorrow (22nd).
We are connecting with a reporter working at Bieung Port in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do.
Reporter Kim Gyu-hee, is it still snowing?
[리포트]
yes. As the night went on, the snowfall gradually became thicker and it was now difficult to see what was in front of me.
The snow that had fallen since the day before yesterday (the 19th) had piled up to my knees.
All ships are anchored in the port due to inclement weather.
Currently, a heavy snow warning has been issued for Gunsan, Buan, and Gochang in Jeollabuk-do, and a heavy snow warning has been issued for Gimje and Jeongeup.
