On the 12th, from 4:29 AM, the Gyeongui-Jungang Line train service was suspended for about 2 hours and 30 minutes and resumed at 6:55 AM. Due to a problem with the power supply line, train operations in both directions between Yongsan Station and Cheongnyangni Station were halted during that time.

A Korail official stated, "Foreign substances from the construction site came into contact with the power supply line, causing a malfunction."



The impact also affected KTX and ITX-Cheongchun trains. Between Seobinggo Station and Wangsimni Station, only one track was used for operation, resulting in delays of about 15 minutes for two trains at a time.
