Heavy snowfall overnight covers Seoul and its surrounding areas in white on Thursday morning. People struggle to commute to work as the cold weather and slippery roads disrupt travel.

A snowman can be seen in front of the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Seoul.

The main palace Gyeongbokgung in central Seoul has transformed into a dazzling, winter wonderland, with its main throne hall, Geunjeongjeon, and gate Heungnyemun cloaked in a blanket of white.

Sejong residents rush to work through a park as intense snowfall delayed all transportation and travel.
