Bus Stop Occupied as Personal Space by a Woman Sparks Controversy

A bus stop in front of Doksan Beach, Boryeong City, Chungcheongnam-do, has turned into a personal camping space by a woman, drawing public outrage.

On the 26th, a post titled "Camping at the Bus Stop" was uploaded on the online community Bobae Dream, receiving criticism from internet users.

According to the submitted photos, a woman estimated to be in her 60s was spotted setting up a shade tent at the public bus stop and using it like a private space.

The woman parked her vehicle in the wrong direction in front of the stop and secured a cover over the windshield to the bus stop pole.

What’s even more surprising is that under the shade, she laid out tidal gathering equipment and plastic baskets, and even used a torch to cook food.

Public Reaction to Unauthorized Occupation of Public Facilities

The informant stated, "This is a beach area where people stay for several days and do a lot of tidal gathering," adding, "I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that while I came here for some fresh air."

In particular, they emphasized that "this bus stop is actually a location where buses operate and stop," pointing out the infringement on the original function of public facilities.

The informant also mentioned, "On the opposite side, there are cars and campers lined up for tidal gathering," claiming, "This lady is not a homeless person; it’s obvious she's here for tidal gathering and is acting like this," indicating that this appears to be an intentional occupation of public facilities rather than mere ignorance.

Internet users who came across the post responded with criticism, saying things like, "Report her," "It seems people are losing their common sense," "I wonder how ridiculous the bus driver must feel," "She’s practically renting the place," and "Someone might think they’re here for camping."
