The character'Posooni', a symbol of policewoman, has been transformed into a new form in the 21st year of its birth to eliminate gender prejudice.

According to the National Police Agency today (7th), the Police Committee deliberated and decided on the'Amendment to the Rules of Management of Police Police Symbol Podoli and Posunyi', which contained the above-mentioned information at the 441th meeting.

The changed posooni wore pants instead of the existing skirt and removed the eyelashes. Short hair was also passed over the ears.
An official at the National Police Agency explained, "It has been pointed out that Posun's appearance can promote gender stereotypes and sexist prejudice." He continued, "In the sense that we will listen to the voices of the people and collect the security situation promptly and accurately to prevent various crimes, like Podol, Posun revealed his ears."

Podoli and Posuni, which were created in 1999, are named after'po(po)' in the English word'police', which means police, and'po' of the'police agency', a security agency in the Joseon Dynasty.
