Commuters Clash Over Subway Air Conditioning: "Turn It Off" vs. "Keep It On"

[Anchor] It gets incredibly hot when the rain stops, but it seems there is a debate regarding the air conditioning temperature on subway trains during the morning and evening commute.

[Reporter] Yes, a heated debate recently erupted on an online community for office workers after a post asked, "How should we view a passenger who asks to turn off the air conditioning on a subway train during the morning commute?"

Passengers who are sensitive to heat argued that it is inconsiderate, asking, "There are cars with weaker cooling, so why ask to turn off the air conditioning in a regular car?" On the other hand, passengers who are sensitive to cold countered that they need the cooling intensity adjusted, stating, "I feel actual pain if I am exposed to the air conditioning for a long time."

According to Seoul Metro, the temperature in subway cars during the summer is set to 24°C for regular cars and 26°C for cars with weaker cooling.

Seoul Metro advised that passengers who are sensitive to cold can use the cars with weaker cooling or move toward the center of the train car, where the temperature is relatively higher, to help manage their discomfort.
