Today (24th), the Saturday news will start about an hour earlier than usual.

The whole country was very cold today as if it had been put into a huge freezer.

In Chungcheong and Honam regions, there were places where houses and barns collapsed as a lot of snow continued, and in the metropolitan area, there were many houses with water meter problems amidst the cold wave.



Today's first news, reporter Kim Min-joon, will deliver.

A rural village almost isolated by snow piled up to the eaves.



It is hard to tell where the house is and where the road is because the eyes are completely covered in every corner of the village.



While clearing the snow and even going to Porclane, they are busy making sure that the vehicle, which is a means of transportation, is in good condition and making space for the vehicle to come out on the road.



Residents struggled to build a road leading out of the village.



Use tractors and snowplows to push the snow to the edges.



The snow collected by the dump truck like throwing up the mound of dirt at the construction site was piled up like a hill before I knew it.



I try to climb up the roof with a snow shovel, but it is not enough to clear the snow that is thicker than my ankles alone.



I passed through the village and went down to the coast.



The vinyl houses nestled in the plain collapsed or collapsed without being able to overcome the weight of the snow.



The third day of heavy rain and heavy snow froze riversides and lakes.

Fishing boats and barges moored along the pier were also caught in the snow, and heavy snow engulfed the parking lot near the port, making cars and trucks look like matchboxes.



It was counted that 190 places, including houses and barns, collapsed due to heavy snowfall that hit Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Jeju.



In addition, more than 800 water meter freezes have been reported in the metropolitan area, such as Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi, where cold waves of around -10 degrees Celsius continued.
