Reporters on Monday found materials used in pedestrian path construction left without proper protection and signage near the 아라 Ara City Development District. [Jemin Ilbo] 1. The Jemin Ilbo is reporting on the governor’s adoption of a wait-and-see approach regarding the controversy swirling around Jeju City Mayor 이지훈 Lee Ji-hoon. Won Heeryong says he has no plans until he sees the results of a probe into the matter by the provincial inspection commission. 2. Two current ferry operators between Udo and Seongsan filed a lawsuit to have the permission given to a third operator on the route revoked.
