The Jeju Police Agency announced on the 18th that it has produced and is distributing 8,000 multilingual basic order instruction signs, featuring Korean, English, and Chinese, to prevent disorder among foreigners and to address language barriers.
The introduction of the multilingual instruction signs is the first of its kind in the country, containing information on cooperation for compliance with basic order regarding major violations such as jaywalking, littering and cigarette butt disposal, disturbances in public places, and smoking in public areas.
The Jeju Police Agency expects that the multilingual instruction signs will help prevent misunderstandings caused by language and cultural differences and enhance foreigners' understanding of Korean culture and laws, contributing to a more empathetic approach focused on explanation and guidance.
A representative from the Jeju Police Agency said, "In addition to guidance, we will conduct strict enforcement of major violations to create a safe and pleasant Jeju."
