GS25 Leads Campaign to Prevent Illegal Filming and Missing Children in Busan During Vacation Season

GS Retail's convenience store GS25 announced on the 10th that it will collaborate with the Busan Haeundae Police Station to conduct a campaign to prevent illegal filming and protect missing children.

GS25 will broadcast illegal filming prevention videos through GSTV at over 300 stores in the Busan area until the end of August. The videos introduce illegal acts and sentencing standards related to illegal filming that may occur during the vacation season, and are based on illegal filming prevention webtoons produced by the Webtoon Department of Yeungsan University. Korean and English subtitles are broadcast simultaneously so that both locals and foreigners can easily understand.

At GS25 stores near Haeundae Beach, missing child prevention bracelets are being distributed to tourists who gather during the vacation season. The missing child prevention bracelets include a QR code for the ‘SafetyDream’ app, where information such as the child's name, fingerprints, photo, and guardian's details can be registered for children at high risk of going missing. Based on the pre-registered information, rapid dissemination and response are possible in the event of an actual missing child incident.

A GS25 representative said, “We launched this campaign to prevent illegal filming and protect missing children so that tourists visiting Busan during the vacation season can enjoy a pleasant and safe holiday. We will continue to introduce various social contribution activities and products and events that can create collaborative synergy to coexist and develop with Busan City.”

In addition to preventing sexual crimes and protecting missing children, GS25 is carrying out various public interest activities in collaboration with Busan City. In January this year, automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) were installed and operated in 17 stores across Busan to prepare for emergencies, and in July, 600 parasols were sponsored to the Haeundae District Office in Busan for vacationers.
