SEOUL - About 500 people were evacuated on Friday after fire broke out in a shanty town in the South Korean capital, Seoul, fire authorities said.
Guryong Village has been called “the last shanty town in Gangnam” or “the last slum in Seoul’s glitzy Gangnam district”. Many residents there are elderly people earning low wages from collecting and selling bottles and cans, or doing other odd jobs. President Yoon Suk-yeol, who is in Switzerland at the World Economic Forum, called for all-out efforts to minimise the damage and mobilise all available firefighters and equipment, his spokesman Kim Eun-hye said.
One of the last remaining slums, the village is a symbol of inequality in Asia’s fourth-largest economy just next to the flashy, affluent district of Gangnam.
