Safety Fences to Be Installed Along Busan's Yeongdo Pocha Street Following Series of Fall Accidents

Today's final story is about safety fences being installed along the Yeongdo Pocha Street, one of Busan's renowned landmarks.

The Yeongdo Pocha Street is a popular spot among visitors, allowing them to enjoy drinks and food while taking in Busan's unique harbor scenery.

However, because the street is located right next to the sea, concerns over the risk of falling into the water have been constantly raised.

On October 9, a woman in her 40s who was under the influence fell into the sea and was rescued, and in late September, a man and a woman who had been drinking also fell into the water and were transported to the hospital.

This year alone, a total of four reports of people falling into the sea in this area have been filed.

In response, the Busan Port Authority has decided to invest 100 million won to install safety fences around the Muryangjang area of the pocha street.

Once the installation is complete, the Yeongdo District Office will take over the management of the facilities to prevent further accidents.
