According to local authorities, the fire began on the rooftop of the museum around 840 am (2340 GMT). Footage captured by TV cameras showed massive plumes of dark grey smoke billowing into the air, sending shockwaves through the community. The Yongsan district office reported that a large amount of smoke was released into the atmosphere.

Fortunately, there have been no reports of significant casualties, although one firefighter was taken to a hospital for treatment. To ensure public safety, the district office issued an emergency text message advising residents in the vicinity to keep their windows closed and refrain from visiting the area.
