Dog Leash Safety Measure to Be Reinforced Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that dog safety measures have been strengthened since February 11 in accordance with the amendment to the enforcement regulations of the Animal Protection Act. Looking at the reinforced safety measures, dog leashes are limited to within two meters; however, in multi-family / multi-unit houses (jutaek) or public spaces inside multi-family houses, dogs must be fully restrained, such as by holding the dog directly, holding the dog by the nape of the leash, or grabbing the handle of the chest leash. Violation of the regulations will result in fines of 200,000 won for the first time, 300,000 won for the second and third offenses, and 500,000 won for negligence, respectively. Gwangju City publicized this amendment through each autonomous district administrative welfare center and residents' associations. In the future, the city plans to continuously inform the public through the Animal Protection Welfare Campaign and the Animal Protection Honorary Guard.

This competition will be held at the Gwangju International Archery Center for seven days, starting with the official practice match on May 16 and ending on the 22nd as a prelude to the 2025 World Archery Championships. A total of 355 people, including 241 players and 114 executives, completed the registration process for the event. The Archery World Cup is one of the three big events for archery along with the Summer Olympics and the World Archery Championships. Gwangju succeeded in hosting the 2025 World Archery Championships in December 2021, beating Madrid, with plans to further enhance its capacity to host the World Archery Championships through this year's Archery World Cup. The Archery World Cup is held five times a year in major countries on each continent, and the top eight players in each event are selected from the first to fourth rounds to play the final match in the fifth tournament. This year, the top eight players will be selected from the first round (Antalya, Turkey), second round (Gwangju, Korea), third round (Paris, France), and fourth round (Medellin, Colombia), and the final match will be held as the fifth tournament (location TBA). There are ten competitions, including five recurve divisions (two male and female individual matches, one group, and one mixed), and five compound divisions (two male and female individual matches, two groups, and one mixed). Gwangju City established the Archery World Cup Task Force (TF) team in January 2022 and is working closely with the Korean Archery Association and the Gwangju City Archery Association to spur the preparations for the competition, including accommodation, transportation, and stadium facility planning.
