Seongnam's self-legalization of motorhome campsite sparks controversy

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province is facing criticism for pursuing a zoning change for the Yuldong motorhome campsite while it is under investigation for alleged legal violations. The city argues the change is meant to resolve legal uncertainties, not to retroactively legalize the facility. Provincial special judicial police contend the campsite should be registered under the Tourism Promotion Act, not the Parks and Green Spaces Act, and that its area exceeds the limit for such zones.
