"Please Men Only" Restroom Sign Sparks Controversy Amid Flood of Complaints

Was there a controversy during this Chuseok holiday over a sign posted at a men's restroom in a highway rest area banning women from entering?

A photo of a sign posted on the entrance door of a men's restroom at a rest area was uploaded to an online community.

The sign read, "A flood of complaints is pouring in," and asked that "only men use the men's restroom."

It appears that as the waiting lines for women's restrooms grew longer during the holiday period, some visitors used the men's restroom, leading to subsequent complaints.

Netizens showed mixed reactions to the incident.

While some opinions stated, "Urinals are exposed in the men's restroom, so it is uncomfortable," and "If the situation were reversed, it would have immediately become an issue," other reactions followed such as, "Waiting times for women's restrooms are relatively long," and "In an urgent situation, it is somewhat understandable."
