On the night of the 8th, when torrential rain fell in Seoul, the appearance of this man who took out the garbage caught in the road rain gutter with his bare hands near Gangnam Station was a big topic, and a similar thing happened in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do.



On a street filled with water, the residents gathered their strength to break through the clogged rain gutter and prevent further damage, first reported by reporter Yoo Deok-gi.

On the 9th, when it rained more than 80mm per hour, the road around Yonghyeon-dong, Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do was filled with water to the knees in less than an hour.
