Chung Soon-gyun, the head of Seoul's Gangnam-gu office, said at a news conference that the mother and daughter of an American student were victims of good faith, saying that she had no symptoms when she arrived in Jeju Island.

They actually dismissed Jeju's claim that they were traveling despite the symptoms.

Jeju Island refuted Chung's claim.

Jeju Island's announcement that it traveled asymptomatically was based on the Gangnam-gu epidemiological report.

However, he emphasized that the responsibility for epidemiological investigation lies with Gangnam-gu.

When the controversy heated up, Mr. Chung made an apology to SNS.

He said that his remarks were controversial completely different from Jinui.
