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


The area where the accident occurred had completed ceiling and lighting remodeling work this past May. The cause of the accident is presumed to be the structural elements failing to withstand the load, resulting in the collapse.



An official from Seocho Police Station stated, "Employees became aware of the accident after hearing the sound," adding, "We are currently investigating the exact cause of the accident."
