Heavy snow-hit market traders have helped restore businesses to reopen as soon as possible.
Merchants complained that although it is a weekend where customers will flock, they are worried about their livelihoods because they cannot do business.
Reporter Yoon Tae-in reports.

On a weekend morning when customers are in full swing, the traditional market is full of debris and work noise, such as collapsed roofs and signs.
Merchants have no way of dealing with the fruits, vegetables, and food in their stores, but they can't.

Merchants help to reopen their stores as soon as possible.
The market entrance, which had been blocked by tent debris and steel structures, barely emerged two days after the restoration work began.
Merchants are worried because they can't do business on weekends when there are many customers.

Merchants at Anyang Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market, whose roofs collapsed on the same day, are feeling heavy because they have not even started demolishing them yet.

Cows have been lying on the roof for days at a livestock farm in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province.
About 20 cows were laid down when the roof collapsed due to heavy snow on the 28th, but we have no choice but to watch as equipment support is delayed.

The heavy snow has stopped, but the damage to small business owners and farmers continues.
