There is a controversy over the news that the boycott of Japanese boycotts will take place in Seoul city center.

Yesterday (5th), Jung-gu of Seoul announced that in the press release, Japan will install the Taegeukgi and NO JAPAN banners in 22 places in protest against the removal of Korea from the white country (white list) .

It is reported that 1,100 Taegeukgi and No-Japan banners will be installed in the whole of Jung-gu area such as Toegyero, Euljiro, Taepyungro, Dongho, Cheonggyecheon, Sejongdao,

Jung-gu said, "Jung-gu is the center of Seoul and the area where many foreign tourists come and go. It will have a great effect on demonstrating our strong will to not give in to Japan with the unfairness of the whole world." " I will cooperate and participate in all measures. "
However, when the news was announced, more than 200 protests were posted on the free bulletin board of the Junggu homepage.

One citizen said, "Jung-gu is the most popular spot for Japanese tourists," he said. "Why should I set up a banner that creates a sense of incongruity for Japanese tourists who visited Jung-gu during this kind of atmosphere?" Another citizen also said, "The people are taking care of boycotting." He said, "I will use the law of the court and if I damage the small businessmen, who will bear it?"
In response, more than 11,000 people have received the petition "Please stop installing the Japan flag in the middle of Seoul", which was posted on the bulletin board of the Cheong Wa Dae National Petition today.

Cheongwon said, "The people should join forces to damage Japanese companies, and based on that, awareness and reflection on trade provocation in Japan should take place." However, if such a flag is caught in the center of Seoul, I will do it. "

It is 'news pick'.
