[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 1st that from the 19th to the 25th of last month, it conducted a joint inspection of 668 public restrooms to check for the installation of illegal hidden cameras in order to prevent crimes using illegal filming cameras and to ensure safe use.

In this inspection, the Western Police Station and the city formed a joint inspection team to thoroughly check the interiors of restrooms, such as ventilation fans and ceilings, in public institutions including the National Health Insurance Service, and posted notices to prevent illegal filming.

Public restrooms in parks, terminals, and tourist sites are inspected daily by restroom managers, and monthly regular inspections are conducted together with the relevant departments using visual checks and lens detection equipment. No suspicious cases were found as a result of the inspection.

Additionally, a campaign was held to promote that illegal filming and distribution are serious crimes, raising social awareness of digital sex crimes and encouraging citizens to actively monitor and report to eradicate such acts.

Jang Bo-seung, head of the Sewage Division, said, “We conducted regular inspections and preventive activities so that citizens can use public restrooms safely and comfortably,” and added, “We will also gradually expand the installation of safety bells and do our best to create a safe public restroom environment.”
