Uijeongbu City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Kim Dong-geun) announced on the 21st that the Uijeongbu City Harmful Environment Monitoring Group (YWCA President Shin Seon-hwa, BBS Vice President Lee Su-won) conducted a joint public-private inspection and campaign for the second half of the year targeting harmful environments for youth, in collaboration with Gyeonggi Province and the city, to mark the autumn semester on the 17th.

They visited convenience stores and restaurants around Jungang Station to attach stickers prohibiting the sale of alcohol and cigarettes to youth and distributed promotional materials. Additionally, they carried out guidance activities to prevent drinking and smoking.
