Joint Public-Private Inspection, Crackdown, and Campaign Held

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 11th that it conducted a joint public-private inspection and campaign focusing on areas densely populated with harmful establishments such as downtown districts to create a healthy growth environment for youth during this summer vacation and school break.

The joint public-private inspection involved about 20 participants, including Suncheon city officials, Suncheon Police Station, and the YWCA Youth Harmful Environment Monitoring Group, and took place around the Shindae and Ocheon districts.

The joint inspection team was divided into 3 to 4 groups and visited establishments prohibited for youth entry and employment (such as entertainment bars) and those prohibited for youth entry and employment during nighttime hours (such as PC rooms and karaoke rooms) for inspection.

Additionally, to raise social interest and awareness about various harmful environments for youth, they also visited general restaurants and convenience stores, distributing promotional materials and regulatory stickers regarding youth harmful environments to the business owners, and checked compliance with COVID-19 prevention and response guidelines.

A city official stated, “We will conduct preemptive inspections to prevent youth from being exposed to harmful environments and carry out various activities through information sharing with related organizations. To respond to the increasing harmful environments for youth, we will continue guidance and enforcement not only during vacation and school breaks but also during the school term to create an environment where youth can grow up healthily.”
