Club Members Stung by Wasps While Night Hiking in Jeonbuk, Hospitalized

At around 1:34 AM today (September 13), members of a hiking club who were night hiking near Oknyebong Peak in Jinan-eup, Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do, were stung by wasps and transported to the hospital.

Fire authorities were dispatched after receiving a report stating, "We were stung by bees while hiking," and rescued six individuals—including a woman in her 30s exhibiting symptoms such as swelling and difficulty breathing.

An official from the Jeonbuk Fire Headquarters advised, "Before engaging in outdoor activities, you must carefully check your surroundings for beehives," adding, "If you discover a beehive, do not attempt to remove it yourself. Instead, move to a safe location and call 119."
