폭우에 “눈물의 거제 야호”…리센느 다녀간 해수욕장도 ‘처참’

Extreme rainfall hit the coastal areas of Gyeongnam, South Korea on the 17th, causing severe damage to popular beaches and tourist attractions. One of the most affected destinations was Losenne Beach, known for its association with the popular girl group, Losenne. The group's members, 원이 (Won Ji-ah) and 미나미 (Minami), were reportedly among the first to visit Losenne Beach after the deluge.

Upon their arrival, the once pristine beach was left with muddy water, eroded sand, and damaged facilities. The once lively beach now resembled a muddy swamp, unable to accommodate visitors. Local restaurants around the beach were forced to close due to the damaged infrastructure. The incident has drawn attention from netizens, with many expressing sympathy for the damaged beach and the impact of the group's actions on the coastal town.

Meteorological records show that the heavy rainfall on the 17th in Gyeongnam region was equivalent to the heaviest one-day rainfall in 200 years, with 124.5 cm of rain concentrated in a single hour around 1:32 AM. This is nearly double the amount previously recorded during Typhoon Roxas in 2002, which caused significant flooding in several areas, including Gyeongnam.
