Gwangjin-gu Intensifies Crackdown on Illegal Harmful Flyers

Operation of Joint Public-Private Illegal Harmful Leaflet Monitoring Team for Intensive Crackdown on Illegal Harmful Leaflets

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) is conducting intensive crackdowns on illegal harmful flyers through joint public-private monitoring teams and nighttime inspections to create a pleasant urban environment.

The currently operating "Public-Private Joint Illegal Harmful Flyer Monitoring Team" consists of 40 members, including employees from the district office and community service centers, volunteers, and participants in the illegal mobile advertising collection reward program, and operates on an annual basis.

The monitoring team uses the "Daepo Killer" system, which allows immediate reporting to the Civil Affairs Judicial Police upon discovering illegal harmful flyers, by reporting the phone numbers listed on the flyers in real time.

The "Daepo Killer" system calls the phone number listed on the flyer every 3 seconds to deliver a warning message, disrupting the call connection in real time, thereby neutralizing the use of the illegal advertiser's phone number and suppressing their business activities.

In addition, the district strengthens patrols during nighttime hours when flyers are mainly distributed, directly collecting evidence of distribution activities and requesting police investigations. They also actively respond to eradicate illegal harmful flyer distribution by broadcasting warnings using administrative vehicles.

Furthermore, the district swiftly collects indiscriminately distributed illegal harmful flyers on the streets through the implementation of the "Illegal Mobile Advertising Collection Reward Program" alongside enforcement activities.

The "Illegal Mobile Advertising Collection Reward Program" pays rewards to residents who directly collect illegal mobile advertisements from streets within the district. The district selected participants in February and operates the program continuously.

A resident living near Miga-ro Taste Street in Guui-dong said, "The streets used to be dirty due to indiscriminately distributed illegal harmful flyers, but thanks to the district's efforts, the streets have become much cleaner."

The district plans to continue joint public-private crackdowns and collection of illegal harmful flyers, impose fines, and take administrative actions to eradicate illegal harmful flyers.

Mayor Kim Seon-gap stated, "We operate monitoring teams, conduct nighttime inspections, and run the collection reward program continuously to eradicate illegal harmful flyers that spoil the street view and cause discomfort to citizens. We will continue to do our best to make Gwangjin safe and clean from illegal harmful flyers."
