Two days of heavy snow in the Seoul metropolitan area affected many parts of the industry.

Some factories have been shut down, and the delivery and delivery industries have also been hampered.

Reporter Hwang Hye-kyung reports.

It is a Kia factory in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.

The snowplow is busy cleaning up the snow that fell overnight.

Even Plant 1 had to stop operating the production line because it couldn't overcome the weight of the snow and the roof was lowered.

[Kia official: Due to unexpected heavy snow, we are carrying out safety diagnosis and restoration work for Autoland Hwaseong Plant 1 and we are doing our best to ensure that our production plan is not disrupted]

Other businesses with operations in southern Gyeonggi Province also have difficulty coming to work,
LG Electronics' Pyeongtaek plant, Samsung Electronics, and SK Hynix, which produce
electronic components, also experienced disruptions in commuting bus operations.

Although the production line was not enough to stop, companies had to recommend working from home or grant special leave for safety reasons.

The delivery and delivery industries were directly hit.

The heavy snow blocked roads and caused a series of accidents, leading to delays in delivery or subsequent cancellations.

In particular, riders who have to deliver in alleys due to slippery roads have been forced to stop working.

[Jeong Byung-joo / Delivery agent: The delivery drivers couldn't come and arrived late, so there were many delivery drivers who arrived later in the afternoon. It's a truck, so it's a lot more slippery than other cars. Slow down...]

Delivery apps and e-commerce companies responded by reducing the scope of their services or informing consumers of delivery delays for the safety of delivery drivers.

However, the aftermath is expected to continue for a while as the damage caused by the unusual heavy snow accumulates.
