Today (9th) around 8 o'clock in the morning, 23 members of the Pinsooyoung club were isolated inside the Haegeum River Sipjadong Cave, Nambu-myeon, Geoje-si, Gyeongnam.

It is said that they came to the sea near the Haegeum River to engage in club activities and were isolated in a cave.

After receiving the report, the Tongyeong Maritime Police Department dispatched security ships and coastal rescue boats to rescue all 23 members of the club at around 9:14 am, about 1 hour and 10 minutes after the report was received.

Two of the rescued club members were reported to be lightly injured, but the Tongyeong Coast Guard reported that they were generally healthy.

The Tongyeong Coast Guard wiped out his heart saying that it would have been difficult due to bad weather even if it was a little late in the situation where the swelling waves hit due to the impact of the typhoon to the north.
