The so-called selfie sticks (or monopods) are no longer permitted to be used in South Korea as the Government fears that the devices could cause other electronics to malfunction as it connects to the intended device by using Bluetooth waves which requires certification from the Korea's Wireless Telegraphy Act. Thus, anyone who are spotted selling these sticks would be sent for imprisonment for 3 years.

Yet, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have recently started banning the sticks from their home stadiums after they received complaints from fans.
