Carbon dioxide (CO₂) was released during a fire safety inspection at Anam Station on Seoul Subway Line 6.
Due to the incident, passengers and station staff were evacuated, and trains temporarily passed through the station without stopping.
Seoul Metro stated that the carbon dioxide was released around 10:40 a.m. today (June 16) during a fire safety inspection at an electrical substation located on the first basement level of Anam Station.
As the gas began to leak into the station, the operator evacuated all individuals inside.
