<Reporter> This



is a photo taken yesterday (7th) at around 5:50 pm, inside a subway train on the Shinbundang Line from Gangnam, Seoul to Gwanggyo.



Two men, wearing no masks or half-chins, are sitting on the floor of the train.



Eyewitness testimonies said that they all played loud songs on portable speakers while they seemed to be intoxicated, and even threatened citizens who were uncomfortable with it. 



[Site Witness: The two of you were just having a double bath, and now they are chanting loudly to each other, and if people around you are looking at you, or if you do this, you are also swearing at that person. .]



Passengers who were concerned about the continued hangover and corona infection hurriedly avoided their seats, and one impatient citizen reported the situation to the subway operator. 



I heard that they would take immediate action, but only two broadcasts recommending wearing a mask came out, and their actions continued for about 25 minutes.



The employee appeared on the train 19 minutes after receiving the report, and drunk passengers had already left.



[Site Witness: They said it was late because the dispatch was delayed because it was 'rush hour'.

If something like a fire happened, we would report it now, but even then, I thought that if I arrived this late, it would just be a disaster in an instant.] In



SBS coverage, the operator said it was time to leave, so in a situation where the passengers were full, the customer management staff took care of them. He admitted that it took time to break through and arrived at the scene, and that the measures were not easy, and that he would apologize to the person who reported it.



He said that he is also considering legal action against drunk customers.
