Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kim Ikang) has declared an all-out war against illegal advertisements such as banners and posters.

On the 28th, Seo-gu announced that it will promote the ‘Zero Clean Keeper Project’ for a Seo-gu that is ▲completely free of illegal advertisements (Zero) and ▲safe and clean streets (Clean).

This project aims to actively respond to the sudden posting of illegal advertisements during vulnerable times such as commuting hours and lunchtime. Seo-gu plans to station temporary workers at 14 major arterial roads and intersections, including Ssangchon Station, Uncheon Station, and the Shinsegae Department Store intersection.

They also intend to frequently identify areas with frequent complaints and add concentrated management zones for illegal advertisements.

Since the second half of last year, Seo-gu has operated maintenance and enforcement teams around the clock, including day, night, and holiday shifts, with the goal of removing illegal advertisements within one hour, 365 days a year.

Additionally, through a reward system for collecting illegal advertisements, they are encouraging active interest and participation from citizens.

A Seo-gu official said, “Since launching the all-out war against illegal advertisements, illegal activities within Seo-gu have noticeably decreased. We will thoroughly enforce and maintain regulations so that the perception spreads that posting illegal advertisements in Seo-gu is ineffective and rather detrimental.”
