I wonder if many people would notice this signs patched over the exit-entry door of some subways in Seoul. Of course, it looks too simple and not-that-eye catching. But, since they are mostly put on the doors of subways, those standing in front of, next to, adjacent to the door, or those waiting in line to exit from subway must've or might've seen or read at least once about this one. These are posters or public advertisement made by the Seoul Subway or Seoul Metro Management.
So, what's so eye-catching and good about these? Let me start to scroll this down!
First: 지하철 계단을 오르면 생활이 곧 운동이 됩니다.
10계단을 오르면 1.2 Kcal, 1분이면 12 Kcal
...freely translated into
'Use the stairs in subway (stations) and you'll have your exercise'
'10 stairs equals to 1.2 Kcal, 1 minute equals to 12 Kcal.
The next one is also interesting......
It deals about environment-awareness.
전철을 타면 매일 매일이 식물일입니다.
인천역에서 서울역까지 전철로 출되근하는 고객님은
오늘도 2그루의 소나무를 심으셨습니다.
freely translated into...
'Riding a subway everyday is the Day of the Plant' (?)
Those passengers who take subway from Incheon to Seoul Station everyday to their offices
are like planting 2 pine trees each day.
The last one that I found is:
고객님께서는 <1회용 교통카드>를 사용함으로써
환경보호와 물자절약에 앞서고 계십니다.
freely translated into...
'Any passengers using one-time reusable transportation card
are the front liners in environmental protection and resource conservation.'
I think this kind of public ads is one of the coo ways to promote such awareness.
As for me, it also tricks me to learn more about Korean language.^^
