Jang-an District Intensive Crackdown on Youth-Harmful Flyers

Jang-an District (District Chief Hong Seong-gwan) will intensively crack down on and remove youth-harmful flyers and other illegal mobile advertisements through the 25th.

The main targets of the crackdown and removal are youth-harmful advertisements containing obscene and vulgar content indiscriminately distributed along main streets in the city center and in densely packed commercial areas, as well as illegal mobile advertisements such as balloons and air lights, sandwich boards, etc. that obstruct traffic and pedestrian passage (banners, wall posters, flyers, and other unauthorized or unreported advertisements).

An official from the District's Architecture Division stated, "For collected illegal mobile advertisements, we will impose and collect fines, and in accordance with the agreement on blocking obscene illegal flyers that Suwon City has concluded with mobile carriers (주)KT, (주)SKT, and LG U+, we will send official notices to the telecommunications companies requesting telephone number service suspension, thereby rendering the distribution of flyers meaningless and actively blocking promotion of and user access to illegal businesses spread through flyers."
