The county government originally pushed to open a nudist area for the first time in Korea to allow visitors to fully enjoy the forest sun baking naked.
Strong opposition from religious and conservative civic groups forced it to drastically alter the scheme so visitors must wear disposable panties and gowns, and restricted the naked zone to a few designated huts or small caves in the hills.
