There was an accident where a Gold Line train had to make an emergency stop due to a drop in main air pressure. The operating company, Gimpo Gold Line, mobilized a rescue train and the train broke down 18 minutes later at 6:41 a.m.
The car was transported to the northern part of Geepo and the passengers were allowed to disembark. Since then, the Gimpo Gold Line has been operating the Gimpo Gold Line for 51 minutes from 7:24 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. to relocate broken cars.
Service at Yanggi Station was suspended and only the section between Jangi Station and Gimpo Airport Station was operated. Instead, shuttle buses were used between Yangchon Station and Gurai Station.
Due to the suspension of service in some sections, the number of passengers on the train increased further, and two women at Takamura Station each showed symptoms of dizziness and anxiety and were taken to the hospital by emergency services.

He urged measures to be taken. They said, ``Due to this year's strongest cold wave, with a temperature of -12 degrees Celsius and a temperature of -17 degrees Celsius, the aging Gimpo Gold Line train broke down at the time of arrival to work this morning, making transportation hell.
``Kurai Station and Masan Station, where service was suspended due to a train failure, were overflowing with citizens waiting for alternative transportation amid the strongest cold wave.''
He continued, ``Are there times when you have to go to work to save your life?Do you only take responsibility when a real disaster occurs?'' and ``Recently, the government has announced that congestion levels have reached 290%.''
"They are taking their hands off the safety issue of the Gimpo Gold Line, which has gone up," he said. In addition, the Gimpo Gold Line, which is aging and overcrowded and threatens the safety of citizens, and the Gimpo traffic problem will be resolved.
He called for ``prompt traffic dispersion measures'' for this purpose. They asked the government, Gyeonggi Province, and Gimpo City to establish a construction plan for the expansion of Seoul Line 5 and the shortest possible time by exempting the preliminary validation survey.△Olympics
