A local government in Ulsan, South Korea, faced controversy for planning to allocate a large number of public employees to manage a private fireworks festival. Initially, 316 out of 525 public workers were assigned to support safety and traffic at the event. After resistance from the local public workers' union, which argued that the responsibility should lie with the event organizer and not be forced onto public employees, the government agreed to reduce the number of involved personnel. The issue highlights ongoing debates about the use of public resources in locally organized events.
