Myung-geun Choi, who runs a restaurant, suffered a deficit last year, but did not receive the 4th disaster aid.



The restricted business was due to the payment condition that sales in 2020 should be lower than in the previous year.



Choi filed a business registration on December 15, 2019.



The restaurant was not properly operated because it was not ready at the beginning of opening, and there were no regular customers, so sales had to increase the following year.



[Choi Myung-geun/Restaurant Management: In the early days of opening, sales fluctuate, so there may be things that work well and things that don't. It doesn't make any sense to compare it with what it did in 2020.]



However, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups received an internal report on this problem, and the situation was not properly reflected.



In a document prepared in April of last year, the Small Business Disaster Assistance Working-Level Task Force stated that if a business opened at the end of 2019, it would review and supplement it in the same way as a business opened in 2020.

Compensation is urgently needed for those who have not received subsidies unfairly.] While



small business owners in

subsidies, sales increased due to business changes, etc., but they were not properly filtered. appeared to lead.



Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki said that he would receive inquiries from the National Inspectorate and set up standards for settlement and recovery.
