The commercial drone delivery service has been introduced in swimming pools for the first time in South Korea.

Upon arrival, the drone carrying a box containing a merchandise item drops the delivery box. People cheer at the sight of a drone delivering chicken and drinks.

It's the first such commercial service in the country and is not a trial. Chicken, snacks, drinks, swimming gear, and even first aid kits can be ordered as long as they don't weigh more than 3 kilograms.

The items first arrive at a delivery center where officials load them onto a drone and fly the device on a preset route.

The drone arrives in 5 minutes. People can place orders using a related app and the delivery cost is 3,000 won. The drone is designed to be safe under any circumstances by accurately perceiving dangers and acting accordingly.
