There is a criticism that flying balloons for the New Year harms the environment.

Yesterday (1st) animal rights activism group Kara has released a photo on Facebook with the title 'What happened in the New Year's Cleanest Jeju.' The photo shows a number of balloons flying in the sky.

Kara pointed out that "colored balloons that laughed, shook, and wished you a happy new year. What are the birds and fishes that need to die in pain after eating and eating colored balloons that are gradually cut off by the line of flying balloons? "I immediately ask the Jeju city hall to collect all recoverable balloons, censure and apologies for the person in charge, and take action to prevent such recurrences from happening again."

The netizens who heard the news voiced criticisms such as "I'm sorry about where all the flying balloons went," and "balloons, lanterns and fireworks." Actress Yoon Se-ah also shared this post on her Instagram, saying, "What a dangerous event." Points toward ballooning were also held on New Year's Eve. On March 31, a civic group, "Political Mothers," said, "At least 13 municipalities, counties, and districts were preparing for the balloon flying event at the New Year's Day in Japan." "You must implement a ban on flying events."

When the balloon flying event hosted by the local government raised the question of harming the environment and life, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will ban balloons from 31 cities and counties and affiliated organizations in the year-end and New Year holidays.
