An apartment complex in Songpa-gu, Seoul, posted a notice requesting that people remove their helmets when entering the premises. The reason given was that many residents felt uneasy when encountering individuals wearing helmets, leading to a high number of complaints.

On the 17th, a cooperation request titled "Request for Refraining from Wearing Helmets When Entering" was shared on an online community. The apartment management office stated, "Recently, users of motorcycles, bicycles, and kickboards have been entering and exiting the apartment premises while wearing helmets (especially those that cover the face), which has made residents feel uneasy and resulted in numerous complaints."

In May of last year, there was also discussion about an apartment that posted a notice asking people to remove their helmets before entering. A user in a delivery workers' online community uploaded a photo of the notice and commented, "There are more and more apartments making unreasonable demands."
