Youngdong District Conducts Special Crackdown on Illegal Large Banners on High-Rise Buildings

Youngdong District (District Chief Kim Young-gyu) announced on the 2nd that it will conduct a comprehensive cleanup of illegal large banners on the walls of high-rise buildings in major roadside areas and entertainment districts over the month of August.

Although banners on building walls should be displayed within a designated signage facility, most building owners and advertisers illegally install them.

According to district officials, with the recent economic downturn, illegal installation of large banners has been on an increasing trend, and accordingly, a large number of citizen complaints requesting removal have been received.

Park Joo-chang, head of the Architecture Division at Youngdong District, said, "Illegal banners installed messily on building walls are significantly undermining the aesthetic appearance of our city. We are committed to intensively cracking down on and clearing up such violations to create a comfortable and desirable living environment for Humanistic City Youngdong District."
