As the aftermath of the new corona spreads around the world, controversy arises as the Gangwon Yeongwol-gun council is forced to travel abroad.

On the 29th of last month, four members of the Youngwol military council, Son Kyung-hee, went on a six-day, eight-day trip to Europe for the purpose of benchmarking offshore mine development and tourism elements.

According to the business plan, the business trip was intended to "review the coexistence plan between the region and the mine" and to "understand the tourist trends by visiting advanced tourist cities."
However, the schedule associated with the mine development project is only one Pana Square mine, and the rest is filled with outlying tours such as experiencing a local tour program, visiting the Kingdom gardens and visiting the monastery.

The preliminary minutes also pointed to this. When a lawmaker asked me to explain the experience of a local tour program without a specific visitor, the response was "No reservations have been made so far."
Some members who had negative views on the nature and timing of the business trip were absent, but officials of the Yeongwol-gun council said, "This training was scheduled for invitation last December." For the 13 million won, he added, "I paid a million won per person."
