Gwangjin-gu Promotes Illegal Advertisement Collection Reward System... 100 Won per Poster

35 People Deployed for Illegal Mobile Advertisements Collection, Full Operation from March
Increased Rates, Continuous Collection System on Weekdays and Weekends
100 Won for Posters, 50 Won for Business Card-Type Mobile Ads Until 105 Million Won is Exhausted

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is implementing a reward system for collecting illegal mobile advertisements to create a safe and pleasant living environment.

The illegal advertisement collection reward system is a program where participating residents directly collect and submit unauthorized banners, posters, and flyers, and receive compensation.

The district selected 35 participants for the collection reward system through a recruitment process in February and plans to operate it in full swing from March. Compensation of 350,000 KRW per person will be paid based on the amount of illegal advertisements collected, with collection carried out continuously on weekdays, weekends, and nights to keep the streets clean.

Starting this year, posters will be compensated at 100 KRW each, and business card-sized mobile advertisements at 50 KRW each, doubling the reward amount compared to last year to reflect realistic payment rates.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “Carelessly installed and attached banners, posters, and flyers harm the cityscape and threaten residents' safety. We will continue to steadily maintain and improve the environment so that residents can live in a safe and pleasant environment, even if progress is slow.”

Meanwhile, last year the district deployed 26 collection personnel and collected 1.24 million illegal advertisements including banners, posters, and flyers, paying out 76 million KRW in compensation.
