Additionally, the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council has taken the lead in raising awareness about the dangers of drug addiction and cracking down on drug-related crimes, as drug offender cases in the province have been increasing annually (314 cases/399 people in 2021, 403 cases/468 people in 2022), and the seriousness of drug crimes was revealed by the recent 'Gangnam Academy District Drug Drink Incident.'


This campaign, led by the National Police Agency, has been conducted jointly with related organizations from April 26 until the end of the year. As drug incidents have recently occurred across all age groups, including elementary, middle, and high school students, it was launched to raise public awareness and vigilance about the dangers of drug addiction and to prevent drug crimes.



Chairman Bae Han-cheol of the Provincial Council designated Jeong Hyun-tae, President of Kyungil University, and Jo Hyun-il, Mayor of Gyeongsan City, as the next runners, symbolically aiming to protect the safety of local university students and residents and to spread the consensus for the drug prevention campaign.
