<Anchor> The



streets are overflowing with banners these days. It's mostly made by politicians to greet the holidays. However, there is a safety issue with this, so it cannot be hung anywhere.



This is KNN reporter Joo Woo-jin.



<Reporter> In



celebration of Chuseok, banners of politicians trying to publicize their faces and names occupied the downtown intersection.



As there are not only former and incumbent lawmakers, but also prospective candidates, it is not conspicuous and only harms the aesthetics of the city.



I went to the beach.



In strong winds and rains, several banners flutter wildly, and the poles tied with strings also shake, creating a dizzying scene.



[Citizen: What are you doing with everything you put your name on? This is wasteful, wasteful, self-political show.]



It is illegal to install banners like this in places other than the designated bulletin boards.



However, we left an empty designated bulletin board and placed it competitively in a conspicuous place.



It is a roadside in front of a large apartment complex.



As you can see, there are a lot of banners of politicians hanging on every street tree.



If ordinary citizens had installed it like this, the district office in charge would have removed it quickly and fined it, but these banners have been left alone for several days.



This is because legitimate political activity broadly applies the exception to the Outdoor Advertising Act that allows posting.



Even the head of the ward office, which is the subject of enforcement, is using this provision to put up banners everywhere.



[Ahn Il-gyu / Director General of Future Policy, Busan-Gyeongnam: (Politicians) It is the result of fostering preferential treatment. By deleting Article 8, Paragraph 4 of the Outdoor Advertisement Act, the current status of banners (postings) that become citizens and politicians should be completely improved.] The



number of banners that threaten the safety of citizens is repeating itself every Chuseok, but it cannot be stopped. There are still no related laws or measures.
