As this typhoon caused great damage just before Chuseok, market merchants who prepared for the holidays are also sighing deeply.



TBC reporter Hyo-Joo Nam looked around the traditional market in Pohang, where the place where he lived has turned into ruins.

At the entrance of the market, which would normally be crowded with people preparing supplies and gifts, mud and worn-out home appliances are piled up.



The painstakingly prepared side dishes and various ingredients were buried in the dirt, and the refrigerator, which had been protecting the store for decades, was no longer usable.



This is Ocheon Market in Nam-gu, Pohang, where the entire shopping mall was submerged.



As you can see, everyone is in the midst of restoration work in a state where there is no electricity.



These completely wet bedding are a reflection of what the situation was like back then.



The owner of the fruit store, who selects only well-grown fruits and has a refrigerator full of food supplies, is just confused.



[Kim Young-soon / Pohang Ocheon Market Merchant: I can't use even one type of grape.

Yesterday I washed everything for a while, but the muddy water turned out like this, so I threw it all away...

Relying on candles and small lights to clean up the messy shop, the owner of the restaurant finally burst into tears.



[Moon Jong-ryun/ Merchant of Pohang Ocheon Market: It has been over 30 years since I have been in business, I am not lying.

Still, I've never been like this before...

There is nothing left in Guryongpo Market, next to the beach swept by 'Hin Nam-no'.



The tank full of fish and seafood was empty, and the restaurant with all the tables removed looks like an empty house.



[Park Geum-ok / Guryongpo Market Merchant: I threw away all the prizes.

I can't use it because it's submerged in water, it's broken.

So, throw it all out now.]



The bottom of the tank, which was flooded with rainwater, was filled with mostly muddy crab carcasses.



[Choi Jin-hyuk / CEO of a seafood company: I need to buy a new crab, but I do not have the funds.

All the facilities have been flooded, and the facilities are in a position to be rebuilt...

.]



Ahead of the Lunar New Year, Hin Nam-no, who swept through the living quarters, passed by, and the sighs of the vague merchants are deepening.
