Melting city

Large sculptures of melting snow, ice cream and a handbag are on display in front of Hyundai Department Store in Daegu, Friday, when daytime highs reached 33 degrees Celsius. The snow sign of “DAEFRICA” is a portmanteau to express Daegu is as hot as Africa. Heat wave advisories were issued in many parts of the country, and the hot weather is likely to continue for days nationwide. / Yonhap
