[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do, will implement a real-name system for banners starting from the 10th to eradicate illegal banners installed along major roads and sidewalks.

According to the county on the 10th, they currently operate 64 designated bulletin boards with 379 spaces, but plan to add 10 more designated bulletin boards by the end of this year, increasing the banner posting locations to 439 spaces.

The real-name system for banners to eradicate illegal banners will be implemented concurrently, aiming to establish an advanced advertising culture where advertisers and advertising companies post legal advertisements by themselves.

Before implementing the real-name system, the county collected residents' opinions through administrative notice and promoted the real-name system and proper banner posting guidelines during a 50-day guidance period.

A county official stated, “Until now, the county and towns have mainly removed illegal banners, but after implementing the real-name system, advertisers and advertising companies will be required to retrieve them directly,” adding, “We will also organize a dedicated banner team and a removal task force to prevent confusion during the early stages of the system and make every effort to ensure the system is established quickly.”

County Governor Kim San said, “It is necessary to recognize that all advertisements without permission or unreported are illegal and to make efforts to install banners legally in designated places,” and urged, “Please actively participate in the real-name system for banners to improve aesthetics and ensure traffic safety.”
