The Hallasan National Park administration on Jeju Island is conducting a special operation from July 24 to August 23. The aim is to stop illegal entry to the Baengnokdam summit area, illegal high-altitude camping and cooking, and overnight stays in campervans (chabak) in parking lots along Roads 516 and 1100.
According to one source, illegal entry cases rose 77% over the past three years, from 30 in 2023 to 53 in 2025. Patrols are reinforced at night and before dawn on Fridays and weekends. Violators face criminal prosecution or fines.
