On May 4, the city dispatched a joint inspection team composed of Yoon Young-mi, Acting Mayor of Osan, as well as the heads of the Environmental Project Office, River and Greenery Division, Architecture Division, and Sanitation Division. The team directly visited the sites of illegal facilities around Osancheon in Eungye-dong and inspected the situation. This inspection targeted a total of four locations identified as illegal business operations and facilities, such as unauthorized parasols and decks, based on verification data from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The inspection focused on checking the status of illegal occupation, including portable outdoor tents, warehouse facilities, and pergolas installed by commercial establishments. In response to violations, immediate guidance and restoration to the original state were ordered. In particular, for issues related to the use of state-owned property, the city requested swift verification and maintenance in cooperation with relevant agencies such as Korea Water Resources Corporation.

Yoon Young-mi, Acting Mayor of Osan, stated, "Rivers and valleys are public assets that should be enjoyed by all citizens," adding, "We will maintain a zero-tolerance policy against illegal occupation activities and continue joint inspections and monitoring to create a pleasant and safe river environment."

Meanwhile, Osan City plans to continue taking administrative action and conducting regular patrols in areas where illegal facilities have been identified to prevent recurrence.
