"Turn off the air conditioner" vs. "Go to the low-cooling car" ... The commute-time 'cooling war' has started again [What do you think?]

[Financial News] As the peak of summer heat begins, conflict among passengers over air-conditioning levels has once again surfaced on subways and buses during the commute.

According to Newsis on the 8th, a post recently appeared on an anonymous workplace community asking, "What do you think about a passenger who asks to turn off the air conditioner on a packed subway during the morning commute?"
The writer said that some passengers on crowded trains during rush hour ask for the cooling to be reduced or turned off because they feel cold, and asked for opinions.
Opinions from readers were divided.
Those who wanted the air conditioning kept on argued that people should make concessions for the comfort of the majority.
One commenter said, "People who get hot easily have a separate low-cooling car, so I don’t understand why they insist on asking to turn off the air conditioner in a regular car. Even when the air conditioner is running at full power on a packed bus or subway, people still sweat from the body heat. Turning it off only inconveniences other passengers."
Another user said, "The train is already stifling on the way to work, and if the cooling gets weaker too, most passengers will be even more uncomfortable."

There were also many opposing views calling for weaker cooling.
They said that if you stand or sit directly under an air-conditioning vent, the cold can go beyond simple discomfort and cause physical pain.
Another commenter said, "The seat right under the air conditioner is so cold it feels like your skin is being torn," adding, "Even a summer cardigan has its limits. We need to make small adjustments and be considerate of one another." Another user said, "If your body temperature drops suddenly, it can feel like a headache or body aches. People who are sensitive to the cold should also be considered."
Seoul Metro keeps the summer cooling setting at 24 degrees Celsius in regular cars and 26 degrees in low-cooling cars. For passengers who feel cold easily, it recommends using the low-cooling car, which is set 2 degrees higher than regular cars, or moving to the center of the train where the cold air is less direct.
