Two people in their 20s who visited the east coast of Gangwon on the first day of the Chuseok holiday fell into the sea and one person died.
Today (18th) around 1:14 pm, two people fell into the water in front of Hajodae Beach in Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do.
Among them, 26-year-old A got out of the water by herself before the rescue team arrived, but 27-year-old B was rescued by a nearby tourist and moved to a nearby hospital unconscious, but eventually died.
The Coast Guard said they were presumed to be tourists and are currently investigating the cause of the accident.
The Coast Guard said, "Many casualties are occurring one after another due to swell waves." "As the 'caution' level for coastal accidents has been issued until today, please refrain from entering the rocks and beaches."
