Baidu Viva violates 'The Outdoor Advertising Act'
When the Chinese fan club proposed the advertisement, it was said that installing the gigantic material is them showing support for BTS V. Also, its location is the most optimized option as it faces the main office of HYBE Labels, which happens to be considered an emerging landmark in Yongsan.

"Any outdoor billboard advert should be put up only after getting approval or registration, depending on its size and kind, per current billboard advertising laws."
Meanwhile, the said billboard has been put on week-long probating by Yongsan's district office for violating domestic laws and will charge fines to the fan club. The government also noted that they are currently making such a fast pace with the case since numerous reports have been coming in due to its massive size.
