[PHOTO] Billboards go dark in energy-saving push

Electronic billboards are dark near Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul, Monday. The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that the operating hours of about 30 large electronic billboards in the Gwanghwamun and Myeong-dong areas would be reduced to 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., from the previous 6 a.m. to midnight, for five days starting Monday as part of energy-saving efforts amid prolonged price pressures driven by the Middle East crisis.
