It is a daycare center in an apartment complex in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul.

When the apartment complex was opened, there was a bidding for a nursery school operator, and the residents claim that it was a cryptic selection process conducted with counterfeit documents before the resident representative meeting was organized.

[Apartment residents: (childcare house bid) evaluation is false. I have an autograph, in the evaluation. It's also a fake.]

The director of the nursery, which was selected as the operator, was recently charged with the allegations that the award ceremony and the certificate of academic achievement related to the operation of the nursery school submitted at the time of the bidding were falsified.

[The nursery director: There are many bidding documents. I have helped make the paperwork.]

A police investigation is underway on charges of allegedly filing fraudulent documents made with money from brokers in Gwangju and Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.

Police suspect that brokers give fake documents and money to an apartment management company or a union that has the authority to select a nursery school owner, if the people who want to operate the nursery are giving money to a professional broker.

[Broker call recording: (management company) I met the representative. If you blow it like this, you'll have more money to do.

The eastern police station in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province, is following a brokered block brokerage suspected of linking child care center directors with brokers and collecting 400 million won for five nursery presidents.
