"Trash Piled Up at the Entrance... Turns Out Neighbor Threw It Out the Window"

"No Acquaintance or Grudge... Please Stop It"

A story has been shared about a neighbor living in the adjacent building who opened their window and illegally threw trash toward their own house, sparking public outrage.

On the 24th, JTBC's 'Sageon Banjang' reported the story of Mr. A, who has been suffering from trash thrown by a neighbor in the next building. Mr. A, who lives in a detached house in Incheon, said he has been finding various trash such as cigarette butts and tissues around his house since last year. Initially, Mr. A thought the trash was blown by the wind, but one day, after finding a broken soju bottle in his yard, he concluded that the trash was not blown by the wind.

Mr. A immediately checked the nearby closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage. The video captured the neighbor in the adjacent building opening their window and throwing trash. After throwing the trash, the neighbor immediately closed the window. Mr. A reported the neighbor to the police, but the neighbor ignored it and continued to throw things like sweet potato peels and flyers. Mr. A said, "We have no acquaintance or grudge, but they keep doing this," and added, "When I asked other neighbors, they said the neighbor is throwing trash at other houses as well. I hope they stop."

Netizens who saw the story expressed various reactions such as "I hope they get punished," "They should catch the culprit quickly and make them clean up all the trash they threw," and "What if someone got hit while walking on the street?"
