This operation was carried out through close collaboration between the Advertisement Team of Hanam City's Road Management Division and the Hanam branch of Korea Electric Power Corporation. The main focus was to remove illegal advertisements, such as banner strings and posters left on streetlights and electrical facilities, which were difficult to reach and remove during regular cleanups.

On this day, a high-altitude work vehicle was mobilized to thoroughly collect illegal advertisements from major intersections where banners are frequently installed, including Gogol Intersection, Sinjang Elementary School Intersection, and City Hall Intersection.

This joint cleanup was conducted to address safety hazards for both pedestrians and vehicles. The Advertisement Team of Hanam City's Road Management Division was responsible for selecting areas to be cleaned and providing administrative support, while Korea Electric Power Corporation supplied specialized equipment, such as high-altitude work vehicles, and personnel.

A Hanam City official stated, "This cleanup activity was organized to create a clean and safe urban environment through public-private cooperation," and added, "We express our deep gratitude to the officials of Korea Electric Power Corporation who contributed to this environmental cleanup operation."
