Then, let's take a closer look at the heavy snow damage confirmed so far with the reporter here. We are with Yang Dong-hoon, a reporter from the Ministry of Social Affairs. Welcome. It's been two days of heavy snow. There is also a series of damage. Viewers are reporting too?

[Reporter]
There are a lot of reports related to the damage from all over the country. I've introduced it several times today, but I'd like to introduce additional report videos. The first is an outdoor golf course in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul. As the shaft collapsed, facilities and snow are pouring down like this. Customers who were practicing golf at the time were surprised by the sudden collapse. Fortunately, he was practicing for about five or six minutes at the time, but no one was hurt.

[Anchor]
It's Bun-dong, Gangbuk-gu, Seoul. It was 7:40 this morning.

[Reporter]
Let me introduce a video that looks very dangerous. This morning, it is near Seoun Junction on the Gyeongin Expressway. If you look at it, it's an incident where a snowball suddenly fell from the sky and the windshield was completely broken.

[Anchor]
It almost led to an accident.

[Reporter]
That's right. Fortunately, the driver pulled over right on the shoulder and called the police, so there were no additional accidents, but he was so surprised that he hit his head on the steering wheel that he went to the hospital for treatment. Fortunately, there were no major accidents or major injuries.

[Anchor]
The melted snow fell to the car, but it must have frozen.

[Reporter]
I think so. I think it probably fell with heavy snow clumped up.Next is a courier distribution terminal in Anseong City. While working, I mean, the roof suddenly collapsed like that while the delivery goods were going up and down in the delivery car. If you look at it, you can see the structure coming down like that.

[Anchor]
It's 11 a.m. today. It was almost snow-free, but it was humid, so it must have definitely not been able to bear the weight.

[Reporter]
That's right. Fortunately, according to the informant, there were so many cars that the collapsed structure hit the car, but if it came down a little further, there was a risk that the people working on it would have been seriously injured.

[Anchor]
Fortunately, there were no casualties because the car supported the tent. There have been reports that the roof at the entrance to the underground parking lot has collapsed?

[Reporter]
That's right. We received a lot of reports on YTN today that the roof of the underground parking lot of the apartment has collapsed. If you say it's the roof of the underground parking lot of the apartment, I'm telling you the entrance. The first thing I see is an apartment in Jeongja-dong, Suwon. You can see that the roof of the underground parking lot of the apartment collapsed and the car was directly damaged. As it collapsed like this, residents were not allowed to enter the vehicle.

[Anchor]
Usually, in underground parking lots, the roof is made of transparent plastic like that. Since the plastic is weak, I think it collapsed because it couldn't bear the weight. I think it needs to be checked. All apartment underground parking lots.

[Reporter]
That's right. It would be good if the police and fire authorities also investigate the cause of this.

[Anchor]
Not only apartments, but also the roof of an underground parking lot in government offices and other places had problems, right?

[Reporter]
That's right. Next, I'd like you to show me the underground parking lot of a health center in Suwon. The video that's coming out right now is another apartment video. You can see the health center now, and as you can see, the roof of the parking lot is crumbling like this. I can see some people cleaning up the snow, but fortunately, no one was hurt because there were no people passing through here at the time.

[Anchor]
It could hit a vehicle. If you do something wrong, it can lead to casualties, so I think you should be more careful.

[Reporter]
That's right. And the Bundang tax office in Gyeonggi Province had a similar kind of accident in the underground parking lot, and if you look at it, you can see the roof at the entrance to the parking lot collapsed to the right. Therefore, it is said that it is impossible to operate a vehicle and all the snow has been removed, but there is a risk of further collapse of the collapsed structures, and it will take a lot of time to clean up and rebuild them. As you can see, the collapse of the underground parking lot continues, so it seems that very caution is needed.

[Anchor]
I heard there were people who hit the car. There were people who couldn't go to work because they couldn't get out of the car?

[Reporter]
Among the information we received, there was no one who said that fortunately, he was directly hit by the structure while driving out. That's a very fortunate part, but there were a lot of reports about cars right near the entrance being damaged by a collapsed structure or that no one could pull out in the morning when there was only one entrance.

[Anchor]
There are many places where roofs are made of plastic at the entrance of underground parking lots across the country, so it is necessary to inspect them. Thank you very much.

[Anchor]
There have been reports of livestock and damage to the greenhouse?

[Reporter]
There were a lot of places where congratulatory speeches collapsed. First of all, let's look at the congratulatory speech in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do. There were many places where the congratulatory speeches were completely collapsed without overcoming the snow. Now, heavy equipment has come and is cleaning it up. At the time of the first collapse, about 40 to 50 cows were trapped in a barn in Hwaseong City. Fortunately, it seems that the cows that had been trapped by clearing the collapsed barn after some time were taken out. In addition to the congratulatory speech here in Hwaseong City, two congratulatory speeches in Anseong were also reported that dozens of cows were trapped in the collapsed congratulatory speech. And next is a greenhouse in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do. This place is called a flower house, so it grows various kinds of flowers, but the house collapsed because it couldn't overcome the weight of the snow.

It is estimated that the flowers inside were severely damaged by the cold because the house was torn down, and additionally the warmer and facilities inside were damaged.

[Anchor]
There are signs of collapse in advance?

[Reporter]
In fact, there are places where you can hear sounds or there have been various signs of collapse, so in the case of markets where our reporters visited, they were evacuating or working in advance because of signs of collapse.

[Anchor]
The informant said he heard a loud sound.

[Reporter]
If the market didn't notice such signs and a collapse occurred while operating, there would have been a lot of damage.

[Anchor]
There may be signs, but if there are any specific ways to inform the situation and prevent further damage, please introduce them.

[Reporter]
This exact damage situation and citizens must be aware of it to prepare for damage. For him, broadcasters like us especially desperately need viewers' reports. You can easily report photos or videos by searching YTN for news and YTN for reports.And if it is difficult to use Kakao Talk, you can simply report it by calling 02-398-8282 or 02-398-8585. In particular, for broadcasting, it will be very helpful for our reporting if you report pictures and videos that can vividly show the scene. However, it can be dangerous if you go to a dangerous place to shoot a live video, so for the most important safety, please report it while paying special attention to safety in a non-dangerous place.

[Anchor]
The information sent by the viewers can be important information. The front of the snowball car that fell on the road earlier was strong enough to break down, but I think you should be careful when passing through the road. I looked into it with Yang Dong-hoon of the Ministry of Social Affairs. Thank you very much. Thank you.
