According to the Cultural Heritage Administration, the restoration work for the two graffiti attacks took a total of 234 workers for eight days, an average of 29 workers per day.

The agency also announced a comprehensive plan to prevent future damage to national heritage sites. It announced that it will install 110 additional security TVs on the outer fences of the four major palaces, the Jongmyo and the Sajikdan, strengthen patrols outside the palaces, and increase the number of officials to monitor and supervise them, as well as the related budget.
