A man in his 70s was found dead when a house warehouse in Eumseong-gun, North Chungcheong Province collapsed after failing to overcome the weight of snow.
The heavy snow killed six people across the country and evacuated more than 400 to temporary facilities.

The housing warehouse collapsed beyond recognition.
The debris of the warehouse is full of heavy snow.
A 77-year-old A was reported to 119 in a collapsed warehouse at a house in Samseong-myeon, Eumseong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do.
A nearby resident looked at the collapsed warehouse because he couldn't see A and found it was covered in the rubble.
[Lee Daechang / Neighborhood resident: I went there and saw that it wasn't there. I heard the car started, but there's no one here. When I lay face down on the (storage) collapsed, I saw a person's foot and this.]
Most of the nation's deaths caused by the heavy snowfall occurred when the roof collapsed, which could not overcome the weight of the snow.
More than 430 people from 260 households have been evacuated, and more than 380 people have yet to return home and are staying in temporary facilities such as town halls.
In particular, Gyeonggi-do Province, which was heavily damaged, closed 90 kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools, and 140 schools adjusted their commuting hours.
180 flights were canceled and 76 ferries were tied up.
The scale is growing as the damage has been confirmed one by one after the heavy snow has stopped, but the restoration work has not been carried out in time because the accumulated snow has not melted.
On top of that, roads and alleys that have not yet been snow-removed are still icy, so you should be careful about safety accidents.
