[Reporter] On the last night of the weekend, the Han River swimming pool in downtown Seoul is packed with citizens seeking refuge from the heat. Splashing water and cutting through the currents to the rhythm of exciting music allows one to momentarily forget the heat that shows no signs of receding. [Choi Yu-jeong / Junghwa-dong, Seoul: It was so hot that I decided to come to the swimming pool right after finishing my part-time job.] "Everyone is so fired up, I feel like I'm getting excited along with them." [Jeong Yun-jae / Bukgajwa-dong, Seoul: "It feels like the heat is disappearing all at once. It's cool and nice. Playing at night feels romantic."] Playing on tubes and splashing around with mom and dad, completely losing track of time, darkness had already fallen. Water play comes after a meal; satisfying their hunger with cup noodles and fried chicken gives them the energy to head back to school. [Shin Yi-an / Daebang-dong, Seoul: "I could come here every day, and I wish I could live here. Coming to the pool makes me feel energetic and ready for school."] Citizens visiting Han River Park also lean against benches and dip their feet in the river water, enduring the unceasing night air. As the sweltering heat continues into the night, a tropical night advisory has been issued for most parts of the country, including Seoul and the metropolitan area, as well as Busan and Ulsan. Although it is past 10 PM, the temperature is still recording 30 degrees. With humidity soaring well over 60%, muggy tropical nights are continuing. [Jeong Ah-reum / Dasan-dong, Gyeonggi: It was so hot that I just left the air conditioner on at home, and it seems to work well at night. The kids definitely feel cool playing in the water...] The heatwave is expected to continue even at night for the time being. The Korea Meteorological Administration urged people to sufficiently lower indoor temperatures before going to sleep and to pay attention to cooling and ventilation. This is Son Hyo-jeong from YTN.
