At about 8:28 p.m. on the 25th, smoke was seen from the underside of a KTX train that was stopped at Seoul Station in Yongsan District, Seoul, causing inconvenience as about 350 passengers had to transfer.
According to Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL), a KTX train bound for Busan at Seoul Station emitted smoke from its underside 10 minutes before departure, prompting station staff and an initial response team to be dispatched. Thanks to the staff's response, it did not develop into a fire. However, about 350 passengers transferred to an alternative train, which departed 8 minutes later than scheduled.
KORAIL plans to bring the affected train into the depot and investigate the cause of the incident.
