Restoration work is still in full swing in places affected by the two-day heavy snow.

In particular, on the weekend, Uiwang's traditional market, which suffered heavy snow damage, is being restored instead of operating.
Merchants complained of frustration on weekends when customers had to actively visit
.

Let's connect the reporters on the spot. Reporter Yoon Taein!

[Reporter]
Yes, it is at Goblin Market in Uiwang City, Gyeonggi Province.

This is the market where the tent roof collapsed two days ago, right? How is the situation now?

[Reporter]
Until this morning, the 200-meter-long market arcade was covered with collapsed steel structures.

A large part of the demolition of collapsed debris has been carried out now.

Because the collapsed steel structures are heavy, workers are working by cutting pipes one by one.

At one point, the roof structure was tilted to one side, making it impossible for some stores to enter until around lunch today.

The market roof tent collapsed at dawn the day before yesterday (28th) when the heavy snow was in full swing.

Since the evening before, merchants have said they have been preparing for heavy snow by sweeping away snow that can be swept away and setting up more places to build columns,

But eventually it collapsed after failing to beat the weight of the snow.

Fortunately, no one was injured in this accident.

Currently, not only merchants but also Uiwang City are working together to remove the tent and recover by pulling out the remains of iron structures.

Wouldn't it be frustrating for merchants who can't open on the weekend?

[Reporter]
Yes, normal business is virtually impossible this weekend.

Merchants also expressed their frustration as many customers visited on weekends rather than weekdays.

There were some merchants who couldn't sell or take out food, so they had no choice but to see it go bad.

So I came out to watch the restoration site because I was frustrated.

Let's listen to the merchant.

[Song Young-gon / Merchant of Uiwang Goblin Market: How long did you work because it was frustrating, I came here to see that. My biggest wish is to recover quickly and do business quickly.]

[Anchor]
How long will the recovery continue?

[Reporter]
The restoration work began around 7:30 this morning.

Our reporters also came out to the scene and looked at it from the time the work began.

Merchants who can't do on-site sales, but have to deliver to outside companies, can also be seen pulling their cars on the shoulder of the market, not inside the market, but outside the market, and carrying goods as soon as possible to finish the delivery date.

As such, merchants hope that the market will be restored and open again as soon as possible.

The merchant association held a meeting yesterday to set up a restoration plan to remove all roof structures by Monday at the latest:

The pace of progress is faster than expected, so we plan to complete the demolition work by tomorrow and resume market operations from Monday.

So far, I am YTN Yoon Tae-in at Goblin Market in Uiwang City, Gyeonggi Province.
