When this became a problem, the ward office in question replaced the tiles three days after construction. According to Busan Jung-gu on the 9th, Jung-gu said on the 4th that Yi-Sin Sun-jeong was at the escalator entrance/exit of Gwangbok-ro heading to Yongdusan Park.
Floor tiles depicting military figures were installed. This was part of a project to improve the pedestrian environment around Gwangbok-ro. A budget of 423 million won (approximately 46.6 million yen) was invested in the project, and it is currently
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of the month. However, this has caused controversy as questions have been raised about whether it is appropriate to step on a tile depicting General Yi Sun-shin.
In particular, Gwangbok-ro, where the tiles were installed, is a place where many Japanese tourists pass, and there have been criticisms that Japanese tourists can step on a painting of General Yi Sun-shin as they pass.
It came out. According to Busan Jung-gu, many posts criticizing the move were posted online, and many citizens called the ward office directly to protest.
In the end, Jung-gu began reconsidering the floor tiles on the 5th, the first day of construction, and on the 7th, the third day of construction, General Yi Sun-shin's image was painted.
The damaged tiles were completely replaced. An official from Jung-gu said, ``The tiles were originally made to give a wider view of Yongdusan Park, where the bronze statue of General Yi Sun-sin was installed, but a problem that went against the purpose of the tiles arose and the complaint was made.
``When we promote this project in the future, we will do our best to not only reflect the diverse opinions of citizens, but also to appropriately reflect historical awareness.''
