On the 23rd, train operations were halted for approximately 30 minutes near Yongsan Station in Seoul due to a false report that "a person was hit by a KTX train."
According to the police, a report was received at 5:11 a.m. that "a person was hit by a train."
Upon police arrival and confirmation, a man in his 60s was found sleeping in the bushes beside the tracks; however, he was not hit or injured by the train. The police recognized that this man was a wanted individual when he was being investigated at a nearby police station and handed him over to the Yongsan Police Station.
As a result, the train was stationary for about 30 minutes before resuming operations around 5:40 a.m.
