According to Homeplus on the 24th, at around 8:20 PM the previous day, a part of the ceiling on the 2nd floor of the underground parking lot at the Homeplus Songdo branch in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, collapsed. Although there were no casualties or vehicle damages from the incident, many customers experienced inconvenience as dust spread and the underground parking lot was temporarily closed. This is the first ceiling collapse accident in the underground parking lot at Homeplus Songdo branch in about four years since 2019.

Homeplus immediately blocked entry to the parking lot and took measures such as removing debris. They plan to keep the underground parking lot closed for the time being and carry out repair and reinforcement work after determining the exact cause through an internal investigation. A Homeplus representative said, "We deeply regret that despite demanding a complete reconstruction from the building landlord and the parking lot contractor to ensure customer safety after the 2019 accident, the accident has recurred," and added, "We will make greater efforts to provide a safe shopping environment for customer safety."

Meanwhile, the underground parking lot at the Incheon Homeplus Songdo branch was temporarily closed on the day, but normal business operations continue.
