1 year has passed since the forest fire in Uljin. Now all mountains of Korea have become ‘forest fire hazardous regions’. Forest fires used to happen once in 3~5 years. But in 2022, 10 fires occurred in 6 months because of the severe drought. The rainy season being as dry as never before, forest fires occur even in summer.
