South Korea, Incheon, Central Park Safari Zone Event Niantic Officer Destroyed Gyms

First of all, I apologize for the aggressive title
I wrote on missing-poi, but there was no answer and I couldn’t solve it, so I said it again
I know I temporarily deactivated a pocketstop or gym in a specific place (handled invisible in the game) during a safari zone event.
After the event, I was worried that I would return it to the original state, but most of them came back properly.
The area near the park has returned properly, but on the contrary, two gyms in the park are still inactive.


This is the area marked with a red circle in the picture above. It seems to have forgotten because it is a place in the park.



This is a ticketing/waiting area for a casual boat ride
I think that’s why they deactivated the two gyms that were in the place, probably because they didn’t want to hurt the average tourist who wanted to use the boat.

I don’t have a capture of the game before the Safari Zone event
I’ll use other materials to tell you the current situation


(There were two gyms in the red circle. One is a sponsored-gym, so it doesn’t show.)


(The “!” under the red circle has nothing to do with this situation.)

(It’s marked with a Pokestop, so it should be seen in-game)


However, after the safari zone event, it became invisible. Niantic staff didn’t turn back two gyms. He forgot to activate them and went back

There are two gyms that disappeared.
As I will explain below, one is a normal gym and the other is a sponsored gym

  • Wayspot Title: 마다가스카 포토존
  • Location (lat/lon): 37.392059,126.638653
  • City: Incheon
  • Country: Korea
  • Additional Information (if any): It’s a normal gym, and it’s been around since the beginning of Pokemon Go

  • Wayspot Title: 송도 센트럴파크
  • Location (lat/lon): It was next to the Madagascar photo zone
  • City: Incheon
  • Country: Korea
  • Additional Information (if any): Sponsored-Gym Center in Agreement with the Korea Tourism Organization (visitkorea)

As stated above, it is a place to wait for a boat ride. There is also a cafe on the second floor. It was a great place for traveling Pokemon Go users to wait for a long time and play gym battle and raid.
A simple mistake from a Niantic official in charge of the event. Hope to get back to the original situation as soon as possible. Reactivate two gyms (so that they can interact in the game).
I’m not asking you to say anything else, just put it back to how it was before the event. I’m so sad as a local

I tried to check this out on Campfire but got too confused. Are there three gyms in each L14? They may have corrected the gym density with the reset. The Sponsored gym is probably counting towards the gym total now.

Every time I talk about this situation, someone tells me about the gym count rule. But this is unnecessary. I think mentioning the gym creation rule is only necessary when you make something new. I’m just asking Niantic to return it to before the safari zone event. The problem is that it no longer exists as a pocketstop or a gym in the game.
As mentioned in the above article, there are other places that have been deactivated and returned to their original state accurately.
(Additionally, there are cases where sponsored-gym is created without following the applicable rules. There are three existing gyms in the cell, but there are cases where they are created additionally.)

This is just about two blinded gyms. I really hope the safari zone event rep reads it. If he reads this, he’ll notice his mistakes right away.

And these coordinates are not near where you circled in red on the map you showed.

It’s not clear what they have to do with your other photo.

This is a dupe of this post
