Rubber boats continue to move tirelessly on the reservoir that has turned into a clay color.
At the entrance of the fishing site where the search is advancing, access control lines have been set up.
Yesterday morning, a boat carrying two brothers in their 40s who came to fish in a reservoir in Anseong and a 60-year-old fishing site owner, Mr. A, overturned.
The two brothers in their 40s had been fishing on a floating scaffold since the night of the 17th, and it was initially investigated that the fishing site owner went to pick them up by boat, leading to the accident.
The younger brother quickly managed to get to shore, but Mr. A and the older brother are still missing.
Rescue workers conducting the search operation for the second day until yesterday fought against muddy water, floating debris, and struggled.
The operation continued with heavy equipment being used to lift the debris brought to the shore by boats from the water.
Underwater search was difficult as visibility was so poor that even the palm of the hand in front of the face could not be seen clearly.
Instead, underwater search specialist rescue dogs, drones, and sonar detectors were deployed.

The fire authorities who conducted the search operation until sunset yesterday plan to resume the search this morning.
A man in his 50s who went missing in a stream in Okcheon, Chungbuk on the evening of the 17th was found dead yesterday morning 1.5km away from the missing point.
This man went missing after slipping and being swept away by a strong current while crossing a controlled bridge.
Heavy rain from the concentrated heavy rain that lasted from the 16th until yesterday resulted in 1,945 evacuees nationwide and 455 homes and 364 roads inundated or lost.
