On the 6th, President Kim Tae-seung of the Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) visited Dawonsys's Jeongeup plant, a railcar manufacturer, to inspect the production site.

At the site, Kim checked the status of delivery delays and said, "We will focus all our capabilities on minimizing public inconvenience." Currently, Dawonsys has been reported to prosecutors for failing to properly fulfill a delivery contract worth trillions of won with KORAIL.

Meanwhile, KORAIL said it will place an order for 150 new cars with a company other than Dawonsys. It also plans to remodel safety-related parts and restrooms of existing Mugunghwa-ho trains to the level of new trains.
