Last year's Drug Eradication Campaign and Illegal Leaflet Expulsion Committee Launch Ceremony

Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jo Seong-myeong), together with the Gangnam Council of the Barun Living Movement, will hold a public-private joint campaign on the 2nd at Gangnam Square near Gangnam Station to eradicate illegal sexually explicit flyers and illegal drugs.

With the lifting of COVID-19 business restrictions and the active operation of entertainment facilities, an increase in the distribution of illegal sexually explicit flyers is expected, and recently, illegal drug use has become a serious social problem.

In response, since February this year, the district has doubled the number of personnel monitoring illegal flyers and has been strengthening daily day and night crackdowns. In November last year, over 200 participants including residents, public officials, and entertainment venue stakeholders took part in a public-private joint campaign to eradicate illegal flyers and drugs.

Accordingly, the Gangnam Council of the Barun Living Movement (Chairman Kim Hyun-yul) has also stepped forward to create a clean and safe Gangnam street. On the 2nd at 4:30 PM, the council will hold the launch ceremony of the ‘Bareungil Volunteer Group’ composed of about 100 executives and members at Gangnam Station. Through the launch ceremony, they plan to urge the expulsion of illegal sexually explicit flyers and drugs from the streets of Gangnam.

After the launch ceremony, about 150 people including council members, the Drug Eradication Movement Headquarters, medical organizations, the Green Mothers’ Association, Gangnam and Suseo Police Stations, and district council members will conduct a street campaign. They will march along an 800-meter stretch from Gangnam Square Plaza to Exit 4 of Sinnonhyeon Station along Yeomyeong-gil near Gangnam Station, leading efforts to raise awareness about eradicating illegal activities and encouraging resident participation.

Jo Seong-myeong, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, stated, “I look forward to the activities of the Gangnam Council of the Barun Living Movement, which has formed a volunteer group to create a clean and safe Gangnam,” and added, “We will take the lead in spreading awareness about eradicating illegal activities such as illegal flyers and drugs through continuous campaign activities.”
