Snow-capped statue

A “hareubang,” or stone statue of an old grandfather, is covered with snow near Mount Halla on Jeju Island, Thursday, when a heavy snow advisory was issued in the mountainous area of the island. Southern parts of the country had heavy snowfall while the temperature dropped across the nation. The mercury is forecast to plummet further on Friday, with Seoul's morning lows reaching minus 7 degrees Celsius. / Yonhap
