The joint task force focused on commercial districts in Youngtong-gu, including Gumaetan Market, Youngtong Central Shopping Center, and the Legal District, removing 36 banners, 43 flyers, and other illegal street advertisements. The task force also conducted educational activities targeting merchants in the surrounding shopping areas.

A district official stated, "Advertisements such as flyers and banners are being distributed illegally on the streets, causing considerable inconvenience to merchants and citizens passing through," adding, "In addition to strict enforcement and fines, we will prevent illegal advertisement postings in advance through continuous educational campaigns."
