Chuncheon City recently held a working meeting with Korea Electric Power Corporation to resolve issues related to undergrounding the transmission lines in Hupyeong-dong.

During the meeting, participants discussed ways to adjust part of the underground transmission line route in the Hupyeong-dong area to address public complaints, in connection with the planned power tunnel construction by Korea Electric Power Corporation between Namchuncheon Substation and Chuncheon Substation.
