A safety sign with inappropriate text was installed on the construction site of the Busan International Art Center, but it was demolished after controversy.

According to Busanjin-gu, etc. on the 8th, a sign with the safety slogan was installed at the construction site of the Busan International Art Center, which is being erected at the north gate of Busan Citizen Park. The sign said, “After the accident, there will be another man lying next to your wife and spending your compensation.”

Also, around the stationery, there were depicted a woman covering the blanket with only snow and a stack of 50,000 won bills.

According to Busanjin-gu, the construction company Taeyoung Construction Consortium installed the information board this morning. Citizens found this as they passed by, and immediately protested the jurisdiction of Busanjin-gu and Busan City, demanding the removal of the information board. The sign was demolished on this day.

The motto has been used on construction sites several times in the past and has been controversial. In early 2019, a similar sign was posted at an apartment construction site, causing controversy online. At the construction site of an apartment in Daegu in 2016, the same phrase was included on the signboard, causing controversy.

At that time, the nationwide construction labor union had criticized the construction company in a statement. The construction union said, “No one works because they want to die. The content of the signboard is to pass the responsibility of the accident to the worker.”
