Mayor Lee Jae-jun: "Cancellation of Venue Booking for Scheduled Adult Festival in Suwon Is Natural"

Lee Jae-jun, the mayor of Suwon, stated that Suwon Messe's cancellation of the venue reservation for the 'Adult Festival' is "a natural cancellation and a natural outcome."

On the 2nd, Mayor Lee posted on his social media (SNS), saying, "The cancellation of the venue reservation for the Adult Festival is a just outcome and a result achieved by the united will of our citizens," and added, "I also express my gratitude to the exhibition hall (Suwon Messe) for promptly taking action in accordance with the citizens' wishes."

Earlier, on the 29th of last month, Suwon City held a 'Countermeasure Meeting Against the Adult Festival' and sent an official letter to Suwon Messe requesting the cancellation of the venue reservation. In response, Suwon Messe notified the festival organizers of the cancellation. However, legal disputes related to the cancellation of the venue reservation are expected to be unavoidable during this process.

In their statement, the Parents' Police Union of elementary and middle schools in Suwon's western region said, "Preventing our youth, who are the present and future of our country, from being exposed to harmful environments is a duty and responsibility that adults living in this era must fulfill," and expressed gratitude, saying, "We thank Suwon City, Suwon Office of Education, and Suwon Messe for their efforts and decision to cancel the venue reservation."

The School Violence Prevention Committee stated, "An event that could affect children's right to learn and educational environment should not be held just about 20 meters away from an elementary school," emphasizing, "We will strive to create a pleasant educational environment."
