Empty Strollers Saving Parade Spots? Everland Clears the Route

Before the parade, some prime viewing positions were occupied not by people but by picnic mats and strollers. The staff clearing them became the unexpected stars of an online video.

Yonhap reported on October 22 that video of Everland employees collecting unattended belongings from night-parade viewing areas was circulating. Everland said the items were moved to temporary lost-property storage, not discarded. Individual owners' intentions were not established.

The clip turned a familiar question into a visible moment: can an object hold a coveted spot when its owner is elsewhere? The issue involves both fairness to people waiting and safe access to the parade route.

Reported comments welcomed enforcement, but the park also acknowledged complaints from owners. Neither set of responses is a representative survey of all visitors.

The purpose is safe and orderly viewing. Wanting the best view is understandable, but claiming shared space while absent affects others and calls for clear rules.

Everland said it announced the measure on February 19, 2026 and began collecting items in March. Staff reportedly provide announcements and notes about where to reclaim them. The clip's October circulation is not the start date.

Implementation may vary by event. Visitors should check current instructions and reclaim moved belongings through the designated storage point.
