Billboard Controvery in Korea

Korean courts have decided that billboards that display only English characters is against the law. (Illegal Billboards) Billboards must display both Korean and English characters. Apparently some citizens were suffering psychological damage from these English only signs. I am willing to bet the government is not going to crackdown to tightly on this. The store owners around US military camps would be really screwed to have to change all their signs. I am wondering if I have to change the large sign in front of my camp with my camp name on it to prevent citizens from getting pyschological damage from it? I would hate to be responsible for some odashi driving by and crashing from having a seizure after reading my English only sign. Maybe that explains all the accidents on the road in front of my camp?! It wasn’t odashi’s poor driving habbits but my sign! I feel so bad now.
