Introduction Introduction Card

The night of Busan was colored with a brilliant red color and attracted 200,000 people, but behind the splendor, irresponsible practices that barely crossed the border of the law were dark as shadows. While the excitement of BTS transforms the entire city into a festival site and revitalizes the local economy, on the other hand, those who repeatedly fail to pay tolls on the Gwangan Bridge and undermine public order are preparing to be brought to justice. Nowadays, when the joy of festivals and the unconscionable act of delinquency coexist, we need to look deeply into the two conflicting aspects that the city of Busan faces. We would like to analyze this complex scene to see how civic consciousness and administrative strictness complete the dignity of a city.

Body Paragraph Card 1

The 1,000 drones that recently decorated the night sky of Busan and the themed lighting that dyed Gwangan Bridge red were enough to enthuse the 'ARMY', BTS' fandom. Going beyond simply watching performances, every corner of the city is filled with experiential content, and Busan has established itself as a global cultural hub that provides unforgettable memories to fans around the world. Various events centered around Haeundae and Gwangalli organically connected local small businesses, accommodations, and mobility infrastructure, creating a significant trickle-down effect on the local economy. It will be recorded as a successful example of how a large-scale cultural event like this can increase the brand value of a city and how citizens and tourists can interact with the city.

Body Paragraph Card 2

However, the Gwangan Bridge toll arrears problem that is occurring right next to the site of this brilliant festival is shaking public order to its roots. According to the Busan Facilities Corporation, in the first half of this year alone, 50 habitual and large delinquents did not pay more than 13,000 tolls, and the total amount was confirmed to be close to 94 million won. In particular, one individual used the bridge without paying tolls as many as 554 times, showing extreme moral hazard. The Corporation believes that this intentional non-payment is seriously damaging the order of toll road use, and is now taking strong legal action that goes beyond simple urging.

Body Paragraph Card 3

Last year, the Busan Facilities Corporation achieved a high collection performance of 77%, including filing criminal charges against 48 people and collecting arrears from 37 people. Based on this successful precedent, the corporation decided to further strengthen its response system starting this year by increasing the number of criminal complaints from once a year to twice a year in the first and second half of the year. Currently, we are sending a certificate of content to those who are in arrears and giving them the opportunity to voluntarily pay, but we plan to apply Article 348-2 of the Criminal Act, ‘Illegal Use of Convenience Facilities’, to those who do not fulfill their obligations within the deadline and subject them to imprisonment for up to 3 years or a fine of up to 5 million won. This goes beyond simple administrative procedures and contains a strong message that a culture of faithful tax payment must be established as the basic order of business in Busan.

Body Paragraph Card 4

On the other hand, hyper-end complexes such as ‘Altiero Gwangan’ built on the site of the old Busan MBC in Millak-dong are receiving keen interest in the real estate market, recording a subscription competition rate of up to 24 to 1. This complex, which enjoys a panoramic view of Gwangan Bridge, represents Busan's locational value and future-oriented residential environment, and proves that Busan is evolving beyond a simple tourist city into a premium residential area. While artistic spaces in collaboration with world-class designers are changing the city's skyline, Gwangan Bridge must fulfill its role as a symbol of Busan and a major transportation artery at the center. Ultimately, in order for a city to develop, not only the construction of hardware infrastructure, but also the mature awareness of citizens who use it and legal compliance must be in perfect harmony.

Conclusion Card

■ Conclusion and analysis outlook

The flashy lights of the drone show and the dark reality of toll arrears clearly show the light and dark that the city of Busan is experiencing. As efforts to improve the quality of cities through festivals continue, unconscionable actions to privatize public assets must also be blocked by strict legal standards. When conscientious taxpayers are respected and cultural pride is incorporated into the daily lives of citizens, Busan will finally be reborn as a landmark city in the true sense of the word. These two incidents we witnessed today remind us once again of the ordinary but serious truth that 'the quality of a city is completed by the attitude of its citizens.'
