<Anchor> A



new dog playground has been opened in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul.

The idea is that if you create a space where your dogs can run freely, you can develop sociality, and then you can prevent dogs from biting people.

It's a great place for people with pets, but the locals say it's noisy and smelly, and is strongly against the facility.



Reporter Lim Tae-woo covered the scene.

Yesterday (9th), the first day of the dog playground established by Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, between the residents of the nearby apartment and the officials of the ward office goes to Goseong.



[Neighborhood resident: Go in front of your house and do it.

Why don't you do it here so that others can avoid it? Yeah, why!]



[Seoul Dongdaemun-gu Office staff: If you talk, listen!

That's why you can't talk, because you can't talk!] The



dog owners who came after hearing the news of the opening are also fighting.




[Neighborhood Residents: It's a dog for yourself, not a dog for others. Hello! A dog coming to someone else's neighborhood?]



[The owner of the dog: I am a citizen of Korea and a resident of Dongdaemun.



Paying the

same money, why do you?] In

front of the dog's playground entrance, residents who oppose the opening are gathered with me from early morning.



These are the residents of the apartment complex facing the dog's playground through the four lanes round-trip.



We have been complaining about noise and waste damage concerns for nearly a year.



[Kang Myung-jin/Residents complaining of damage: One barking, so two barking. Fighting with each other. I can hear it all. We are living here, but we can sleep even during the daytime, but we can't sleep.] The



ward office faced with opposition and decided to open the door after a trial run for a month.



[Seoul Dongdaemun-gu Office official: Is the content of the (damage) claimed by the residents really objective and true, we just need to confirm that part through a pilot operation.] The



city ​​of Seoul said that by 2022 last year, one dog playground will be installed in every 25 autonomous districts. Revealed.



However, with the exception of four playgrounds installed in large-scale parks such as Boramae Park, the installation of playgrounds adjacent to the residential complex faced the resistance of residents, and none of them are promoted normally.
