A village in Yudeung-myeon, Sunchang-gun, where 20 families live.

It turned into a sea of ​​earthy water so that only the roof was visible.

In a submerged barn, cows struggle with their heads only, and dozens of cows that have barely escaped move somewhere.

During the two days, when the Seomjin River Dam was discharged in heavy rain of more than 500mm, the village river, the downstream area, flooded, and the entire village was submerged.


[Outer village residents in Yudeung-myeon, Sunchang-gun, Jeollabuk-do: It’s not a word. But I can't say anything like that in the sky. Only the body came out, between the couple in the morning... .] In

Ban-myeon, Namwon-si, 100 meters of the Seomjin River embankment collapsed in the swollen river.

Because of this, farmland and dozens of houses in nearby villages were flooded, causing residents to evacuate.

As the river level in front of the village rose, the access roads to the three villages in Deokchi-myeon, Imsil-gun were cut off.

It is difficult for about 100 residents and tourists to come out of the village.

The area around the house with a strong water path was covered with rocks, soil, and trees.

In a village in Sandong-myeon, Namwon-si, a landslide occurred around 3 am.

The residents, amazed by the landslide in front of their eyes, managed to escape.


[Kimjin/Yodong Village, Sandong-myeon, Namwon-si, Jeollabuk-do: Should I say that it is strange, the resonant of the mountain... The moment I open my eyes and go out to the floor, the landslides are passing right in front of my eyes, as you can see, and the neighborhood is raging.]

Only 700 people evacuated or isolated in the three areas of Sunchang, Namwon and Imsil.

In addition, about 200 people have been evacuated in Muju-gun and Jangsu-gun due to river flooding and the risk of reservoir collapse.
