Yeongdeok County Issues Apology After Visitor Reportedly Expelled From Beach Over Camping Chair

Today, let us look at our final hot topic.

I was told to leave just for setting up a camping chair.

A story has emerged about a beachgoer who was allegedly ordered to leave a beach simply for setting up a single camping chair.

Recently, a post was shared on social media detailing how the author was driven out of a beach in Yeongdeok, North Gyeongsang Province, while visiting with their 26-month-old daughter.

The claim stated that after setting up just one camping chair, they were ordered by officials from the management committee to dismantle it and leave the premises.

A banner had been hung at the entrance of the beach prohibiting the bringing in of personal equipment.

The author reportedly asked the management office for the basis of the ban and was told it was not allowed because they had obtained permission to use public waters.

As the controversy grew, the management committee countered by stating, "It wasn't because of the chair itself, but because it was installed in a location that blocked the safety personnel's view, so we asked for it to be moved."

However, when Yeongdeok County checked the matter, the spot where the writer placed the chair turned out to be outside the zone designated and permitted for use by the management committee for renting out vacation supplies.

In the end, Yeongdeok County issued an official apology on the 23rd.
