In Wonju, Gangwon Province, the holiday season has seen a rise in 'alpakki' — long-term occupation of public parking lots and campsites by tents and campers. At the Chilbong Recreation Area parking lot, two campers have been parked since June, while the closed Seomgang Dukkeobi Auto Camping site is also illegally occupied. Local authorities lack legal grounds for forced removal or penalties, except on beaches where recent amendments allow removal without administrative procedures.
