Recently, several photos of people caught urinating in public were posted on a building wall in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi Province. The photos, secured with blue tape, clearly show individuals smoking while urinating in public or fleeing after doing so.


The identity of the person who posted these photos has not been confirmed, but it is presumed to be a building official troubled by public urination in the alley.


Previously, signs were placed in front of the building urging people to use the restroom, with messages such as "Absolutely no urination" and "If you urinate in the alley, your photo will be taken and displayed in the alley."


Despite these warnings, many continued to urinate in public, leading to the release of footage captured by closed-circuit television (CCTV).

Various online communities responded with comments like, "Even with such large signs, people still urinate in public," "They must have been really fed up to do that," and "It feels satisfying." However, some expressed concerns that displaying the photos on the wall could infringe on privacy rights.


Meanwhile, public urination can be punished with a fine of up to 100,000 won, detention, or a penalty under Article 3, Paragraph 1, Item 12 of the Minor Offenses Act.
