[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Seoul Metro announced that the malfunction on the Line 7 train bound for the upper track at Children’s Grand Park Station (Jangam direction) that occurred at 3:29 PM on the 22nd has been resolved, and the train service between Cheongdam Station and Taereungipgu Station in both directions, which had been suspended, resumed around 5:17 PM.


To minimize customer inconvenience caused by the train suspension, the company deployed substitute buses at Gunja Station, Cheongdam Station, and Taereungipgu Station, where the service was halted. For sections other than the suspended area, trains operated by turning back at Cheongdam Station and Taereungipgu Station. Additionally, immediately after the incident, an on-site accident response headquarters was formed to restore the situation, completing the recovery around 5:17 PM.



A company official stated, “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to subway users and will thoroughly analyze the cause of the accident to prevent recurrence.” He added, “Train operations are proceeding normally, but due to the aftermath of the vehicle malfunction, it may take some time to restore the train intervals. We will do our best to minimize citizen inconvenience through recovery operations.”
