Legoland Observatory has stopped.
Children in helmets are seated waiting to be rescued, while firefighters use elevated ladder trucks to rescue one by one.
At around 12:35 pm today, the Chuncheon Legoland Lego Tower Observation Deck stopped at 25m, causing an accident in which users were trapped.
The 43m high Lego Tower is a device that users ride up and down inside a circular column.
When the device stopped, 19 people, including 17 passengers and 2 employees, were trapped.

The rescue was completed at around 3:08 pm, about two hours later, but the users had to fall in anxiety.
This isn't the first Legoland ride accident.
Since the pilot opening last April, there have been four roller coaster stop accidents.
[Legoland users: I'm glad there's no major accident right now, because if there are any casualties or something like that, it's a serious situation.]
Legoland's response is that stopping accidents are frequent.
[Soo-Young Huh / Marketing Team Manager, Legoland Korea: It often happens that the equipment stops while operating it.
In order to operate in a 100% safe way, it is a daily occurrence that the employees stop and then check for abnormalities and restart the operation if there is no problem.]
Legoland believes that the accident occurred due to a system error and is investigating the exact cause of the accident. .
