Drug Advertisements Scattered Throughout Hongdae... Police Launch Investigation

Advertisements claiming to sell drugs were distributed on the Hongik University campus in Mapo-gu, Seoul, prompting the police to launch an investigation.

On the 23rd, the Mapo Police Station in Seoul announced that they had begun an investigation after receiving a report from the school the previous day stating, "Advertisements claiming to sell drugs were distributed on the campus."

The advertisements were found in the Hongdae Art Building. The business card-sized ads contained English text saying, "Need inspiration? Innovative 'liquid cannabis' is ready for you," and "Contact us while it's still legal." A QR code was printed on the back of the advertisement.

After receiving the report, the police collected the advertisements and are tracking down the person who distributed them through CCTV footage analysis. The school also collected the advertisements, and the student council warned students to be cautious about the ads through community boards and messengers.

A police official stated, "We are also conducting a legal review to determine whether this violates the Narcotics Control Act."
