Seoul City Council's People's Power "Restricting the use of Namsan due to corporate greed..."Promote the gondola".

In response to the court's acceptance of the request for suspension of execution by the Namsan cable car operator to stop the gondola construction, lawmakers of the Seoul Metropolitan Council strongly criticized, saying, "Citizens' right to enjoy Namsan was limited due to the greed of certain companies."

In a commentary, a spokesman for the city council People's Power pointed out, "Korea Sado Industrial has monopolized Namsan cable cars since 1962 and made 19.5 billion won in sales, but paid only about 100 million won in state-owned fees, and is suing to avoid losing monopoly profits when the gondola is promoted."

Subsequently, the court's decision to cite the gondola was a great disappointment to the citizens who wanted to install it, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government ordered it to do its best to thoroughly respond to the dispute over the Namsan gondola project and carry out the project without a hitch.
