Have you heard of a company called 'Eduwill'?
In the advertisement, the words 'No. 1 in the number of successful applicants' and 'No. 1 in the number of civil servants' catch the eye.
As it turned out, I only got first place in the 'Certified Broker Examination' out of many civil service exams, and it only took the first place in a 'specific year'.
This is reporter Jang Hoon-kyung.
<Reporter> It
is a subway station in Seoul.
On one wall, there is an advertisement for Eduwill that reads 'No. 1 in the number of successful applicants'.
But in the real estate agent exam, the fact that it was only in the 2019 exam is written very small in the corner.
[Lee Se-in / Dongjak-gu, Seoul: It's a little exaggerated to say that I made it too big for 1st place and only did it for one year...
In other years, (the 1st place) was not Eduwill.]
The Fair Trade Commission stated that Eduwill advertised on buses and subways in this way, but only recorded 0.1% of the total advertising area for the fact that only some years of the certified real estate agent exam were applicable. analyzed that it was.
The advertisement titled 'No. 1 civil servant' was also the result of a 2015 public opinion survey company's awareness survey of educational institutions.
In addition, the Fair Trade Commission pointed out that it is difficult to know the rationale for the No.
The Fair Trade Commission said that the Eduwill advertisement violates the Labeling and Advertising Act that deceives consumers and imposed a correction order and a fine of 268 million won.
[Kim Dong-myeong/Fair Trade Commission Consumer Division: We decided that Eduwill
may misunderstand or misunderstand that the number of passers is 1st in all fields and periods, not just in the real estate agent test section.]
He said that there is no standard in the law, and that he will respond through litigation in the future.
