We will establish a task force to prepare for Cho Doo Soon's return to prevent crimes so that the citizens' anxiety will be minimized."
However, there are still netizens who are unsatisfied with the countermeasures and the release of the sex offender. They have expressed their dissatisfaction on various online communities stating the government should not release Cho Doo Soon.
"This is just comical."
"They are wasting our tax money. They should just keep him in Jail or even sentence him to death."

"Please don't waste tax money and just strengthen the law."
"This is just so frustrating. No one wants him anywhere except jail."
"So much money going to waste. It's our tax money."

I don't know how big Ansan is, but judging from prior articles, it seems that a lot of people knew who 'Nayoung' was. A lot of the probably watched her grow from a toddler to elementary schooler and cried with her and her family when that man did that horrible, inhumane thing to her. They probably were there to help her with the aftermath. Who would want him to come back after all her did and especially after 'Nayoung' and her family are moving away like they're the one who did wrong. No one would want him, yeah the government can't do much since there's a lot of criminals, but for one this well known, why can't they just restrict him from coming to this city? He hurt a CHILD, he raped A CHILD! No sane parent would be okay with him walking around the same town as their kid. And about surveillance cameras... if the person looking at them dozes off for 1 minute or looks the wrong way for only a few seconds, a tragedy could occur again.
