<Anchor> The
cold wave that has come in decades has gradually eased, and the days are gradually easing.
After the cold goes away, you should check your surroundings to see if there is any damage.
There are reports of water pipes exploding and many dangerous icicles everywhere.
Reporter Park Jae-hyun covered the scene.

A villa in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.
A firefighter comes down a rope from the rooftop and begins to break the thick icicles in the boiler piping on the fourth floor.
It only falls after hitting dozens of times with sharp equipment.
[Lee Sang-baek/Ilsan Fire Department 119 Rescue Commander: It is in winter, so a lot of icicles are occurring.
Icicles are generated on the 4th and 5th floors, so for citizens passing by
.
As the day got loose, reports of water pipe leaks continued.
Ice was blocking the pipe that was damaged by freezing, but when the ice melted, water spilled.
In a rental apartment in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, water supply was cut for more than three days due to a broken water pipe.
[Apartment residents: 3 days ago.
I can't even wash my face.
(No water comes out) You can't even go to the bathroom.
I can't express it in words.
How uncomfortable.]
Even during the interview, another household water pipe burst and water was poured out.
[Apartment official: (during cold weather) I keep calling.
Until evening.
A hundred and dozen cases came.
From yesterday afternoon, the day is released, so it just starts to burst.]
Over the past ten days, there have been 735 reports requesting the removal of icicles and over 7,500 freeze reports.
Yesterday (9th) in the complex next to the Sejong City apartment, where 20 meters long icicles were formed due to the freezing of water pipes, a 4-story high icicle was created today.
