problem of the number of elements is gradually finding stability as the amount of supply is increasing.

A gas station in Anyang, Gyeonggi-do. I sold urea water at 1,500 won per liter, but they were all sold out.
[A gas station: I don't do it by stacking it up and selling it in vain. Do you have dozens of calls and urea a day? No (then) I think that's a lie.]
Another gas station nearby is delaying stocking, and the price has been set at 4,500 won per liter, which is three times the price.
[Gas station B: Can you give me a call tomorrow morning? (How much?) I'm trying to sell it for 45,000 won. For 10 liters.] After
checking three or four more gas stations, the prices vary widely.
[Gas station C: I am selling it at 3,700 won (per liter) to get rid of it quickly.]
[Gas station D: I am selling it for 30,000 won per box for major customers only.] The
shortage has improved, but the price is still Drivers are dissatisfied.
[Driver: It seems like I'm getting scammed, and the drivers seem to be idiots and ignorant, and my heart breaks.]
Gas stations protest that the cost of supply itself has risen.
[E gas station: They say they have released 100 now, but they only gave it to the highway.
One hundred and twenty thousand won each.
A1 Chemical (manufacturer) wants to buy it at a gas station for 33,000 won, each.
It's three times the price.]
Two people, including a gas station operator who were storing more than 5,000 liters of water, were caught by the government's joint enforcement team.
There are voices calling for the government to monitor and manage the price of urea water.
