A house in Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do.
Suddenly, a roar is heard, and the CCTV screen that was illuminating the house shakes.
Moments later, the startled landlord comes outside to check the situation.

″There was a “bang” sound, like an explosion, like a bomb exploding or gas exploding. There was also a bit of a rattling noise from the whole house frame.”
There were no casualties from the earthquake, but reports came in about cracks in the walls of two houses in Jangsu-gun.
In addition, it was found that 52 cases were received nationwide, including 43 cases in Jeonbuk, 4 cases in Gyeongbuk, and 2 cases in Gyeongnam, reporting that vibration was detected.
‘Gagijindo’, which means the level of shaking by region, was the highest at 5 in Jeonbuk, 3 in Gyeongnam, Chungnam, and Chungbuk, and 2 in Gyeongbuk, Gwangju, Daejeon, and Jeonnam.
An instrument seismic scale of 5 is a level at which almost everyone can feel the vibration.

″My eldest daughter, younger daughter, and youngest daughter, who were at home, and their denial now ran out. Because the house shakes.”
Previously, the Korea Meteorological Administration had sent an emergency disaster message across the country saying that an earthquake of magnitude 4.1 had occurred, but it was lowered to 3.5 after a detailed analysis.
This earthquake is the third largest among 59 earthquakes that occurred on the Korean Peninsula this year.
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security issued a first-level critical script immediately after the earthquake and a ‘warning’ level of earthquake crisis warning, and is currently counting the damage situation.
