On the morning of July 8, a power outage affected train operations on a section of Seoul's Line 1 subway.


According to Yonhap News and Korea Railroad Corporation (Korail), at approximately 7:29 a.m., an electrical supply failure occurred on the downward section between Changdong Station and Shinimun Station, causing delays and irregular train services across the entire line.


As a result, Korail temporarily suspended train operations on the downward line between Dobongsan Station and Cheongnyangni Station while implementing emergency measures.


A Korail official stated, "The cause of the electrical supply failure is currently under investigation, and we are doing our best to restore normal operations."
