Around 7:35 p.m. on the 23rd, a ground subsidence occurred at a construction site in Imun-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul.

According to Dongdaemun-gu on that day, a ground subsidence approximately 2 meters deep and 5 meters long occurred at the complex government building's parking lot construction site in Imun 2-dong.

The sudden ground sinking caused nearby buildings to tilt. As a result, one worker who was working in the building became trapped but was rescued. No other casualties have been reported so far.

Dongdaemun-gu, along with fire and police authorities, has been dispatched to the scene to control traffic.
