Noting that the recently released movie 'Crime City 4' deals with cyber gambling, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency proposed Ma Dong-seok's participation last month. Ma Dong-seok reportedly readily agreed, sympathizing with the cause.

In this challenge, Ma Dong-seok emphasized that "cyber gambling is a fraudulent crime that can never be won, and it should never be done even out of curiosity."

Since March, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency has been conducting this challenge to widely raise awareness of the dangers of illegal cyber gambling targeting youth. So far, over 200 people, including Seoul Police Chief Jo Ji-ho, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, and Seoul Superintendent of Education Cho Hee-yeon, have participated.

The challenge involves posting a campaign image verification photo on social networking services (SNS), nominating the next participant, or voluntarily taking a verification photo and nominating the next participant even if not nominated.
