According to Seocho Police Station, at around 7:40 a.m. on August 6, a loud cracking sound was heard in the first-floor lobby of the main building, followed by the collapse and fall of the ceiling structure and lighting fixtures. No injuries were reported.


The area where the accident occurred had completed ceiling and lighting remodeling construction in May. The cause of the accident is presumed to be the structure's failure to withstand the load, leading to its collapse.



An official from Seocho Police Station stated, "Staff recognized the accident after hearing the noise," and added, "We are currently investigating the exact cause of the accident."
