Violent Films, Cartoons to Face Regulation

The ruling camp will seek measures to regulate movies or cartoons that encourage juvenile violence.

Uri Party lawmaker Jee Byung-moon on Monday said his party and the government agreed on the decision in a policy meeting.

Jee cited the tendency of public school students wearing uniforms to talk and act like gangsters from movies, and that violent films are having a negative influence on a number of adolescents.

He also said the party will consider regulation on such movies or cartoons without undermining freedom of creative expression.
