"Don't Take Off Your Shirts": Standing Notice Boards Spark Debate Despite Rules

This is our third topic.

It is a subject sparking fierce debate online: runners who take off their shirts.

With the hot weather lately, it is not hard to spot runners jogging without their shirts on at places like Han River parks.

What do you think?

Runners working out in this hot weather—runners jogging without their shirts on can easily be seen all over Han River parks.

However, notice boards containing rules that runners should follow have also been installed at the sites.

And the very first item on them reads, "Do not take off your shirts."

While broadcast announcements asking for cooperation so as not to cause discomfort to others are made frequently, some runners continue to run with their shirts off.

Citizens point out that taking off shirts in public spaces causes discomfort and embarrassment to people around them.

On the other hand, opinions are also emerging that "taking off clothing while exercising outdoors in hot weather is a personal choice and a matter of freedom."
