The Jeju Police Multilingual Etiquette Initiative
Responding to local complaints, Jeju police have introduced what’s reportedly South Korea’s first multilingual etiquette notice, printed in Korean, English, and Chinese. Approximately 8,000 guides are now in circulation, meant to bridge language and cultural gaps and educate visitors on community standards.
