South Korean Seniors Seek Refuge from Heat at Airports
In response to a severe heatwave, many seniors in South Korea are seeking refuge at Incheon International Airport. The airport offers air conditioning, seating, free Wi-Fi, and other amenities, making it an attractive option for those looking to escape the heat. Seniors, who can travel to the airport for free via subway, have been spending extended periods in the terminals, engaging in activities such as playing games and sharing meals. This trend highlights a gap in the effectiveness of government-provided cooling shelters, many of which require membership or fees, limiting accessibility for some individuals.
