It was confirmed that Mr. A felt dizziness and nausea on the train heading from Gochon Station to Gimpo Airport Station and sat down after getting off.

Also, at 7:58 a.m. the same day, a woman in her 30s, Ms. B, who got off at Gimpo Airport Station, received emergency treatment for vomiting and dizziness. According to passengers, medical staff examined the vomiting patient, and as usual, the congestion level of the Gimpo Gold Line train was severe.

Currently, the Gimpo Gold Line is deploying private emergency personnel at the terminal station, Gimpo Airport Station, to prevent safety accidents caused by passenger overcrowding during rush hours.
