Some KTX high-speed train services are running slower than usual for passenger safety amid heavy snow and cold weather, the railway operator said Tuesday.

The affected train lines are the Gyeongbu, Honam, Gangneung and central services, according to the Korea Railroad Corp.

Some areas in Seoul received up to 14 centimeters of snow, while more than 120 cm of snow fell on Mount Halla on the southern resort island of Jeju. (Yonhap)
