[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Train operations were temporarily halted at Beomgye Station on Seoul Subway Line 4 heading towards Danggogae due to an issue with the power supply device.

Korea Railroad Corporation (Korail) announced that at around 6:49 a.m. today (the 8th), the K4516 train bound for Danggogae entering Beomgye Station on the Gwacheon Line experienced a vehicle malfunction (power supply device), causing a temporary delay in operation.

Korail guided approximately 300 passengers on board to transfer to subsequent trains or use other transportation means, and the malfunctioning train was sent back to Geumjeong Station.

Currently, Line 4 resumed operation at around 7:36 a.m., but due to this incident, 16 subsequent trains were delayed by 10 to over 40 minutes.

A Korail official stated, "There were reports of an explosion sound during the electric shock process, but no explosion was detected. It is presumed that the sound was caused by the electric shock process," adding, "We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to train users and will do our best to ensure safe train operations."

Beomgye Station also experienced a problem with a Danggogae-bound train around 7 a.m. on the 7th, causing a stop of about 10 minutes.
