On the 15th, Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) announced that as of 9 a.m., the operation of all regular trains, including Mugunghwa-ho and ITX-Saemaeul, has been suspended.

Accordingly, high-speed trains (KTX-Eum) running on the Jungang Line and Jungbu Naeryuk Line have also been suspended.

KTX trains are operating on the Gyeongbu High-Speed Line, Gangneung Line, Jeolla Line, and Honam Line, but delays are expected due to slow operation caused by heavy rain.

The metropolitan and Donghae Line commuter trains operated by KORAIL are running normally on all sections.

Earlier, KORAIL suspended all 12 KTX trains passing through Suwon until the track derailment accident section between Shintanjin and Maepo was restored and the heavy rain subsided. Among 25 KTX trains passing through Seodaejeon, 21 were suspended. Four KTX trains between Seodaejeon and Yongsan are operating normally.

KORAIL urged train passengers to check the train operation status through Korail Talk, the customer center, or the official website.

A KORAIL official said, "Tickets for suspended trains will be automatically refunded without penalty," and added, "Train passengers must check the train operation status in advance through Korail Talk, the customer center, or the Let's Korail website, and passengers in urgent need should use alternative transportation."
