Gangnam-gu, the head of Seoul, who had been controversial about the fact that a mother and daughter of an American student who was determined to come to Korea on a trip to Jeju Island as a victim of good faith, said she was a victim of good faith, just gave the entrance. But even if I apologize, the criticism that apologizes is still criticized because it was controversial unlike my will.

At the press conference yesterday, Kang Soon-gyun, director of Seoul Gangnam-gu, said that the mother and daughter of American students were victims of good faith, saying that they had no symptoms when entering Jeju Island.

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

At the press conference today, 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, Chung-gu made an apology to SNS this afternoon.

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

Jeju Island said there was no change in the damages lawsuit against the mother and daughter of Gangnam-gu.
