As rainwater entered the station due to heavy rain, both trains passed through Isu Station without stopping.
The basement floor of Singil Station on Seoul Subway Line 1 was also filled with rainwater, and rainwater poured from the elevator ceiling at Daechi Station.
At Yeongdeungpo Station, rainwater pours in through the open train doors.
Some subway stations including Yeongdeungpo Station and Dongjak Station were closed due to heavy rains centered on the metropolitan area, and the lines at Gaebong Station and Oryu Station were also flooded, causing train service to stop at one time.
In particular, trains stopped operating in the section between Nodeul Station on Subway Line 9 and Sapyeong Station, and 7 subway stations in that section were closed.
The record heavy rain that fell in the central region for the first time in 80 years caused chaos, such as stopping subway operations in various places, causing great inconvenience to citizens on their way home from work.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government believes that the subway service will be possible this morning as long as it does not rain more overnight.
