Construction company executives who participated in the competition to win a large-scale urban development project promoted by Guri City and the mayor of Guri played golf together and ate at a luxury restaurant.
You can meet, but as it was a sensitive time, it seems difficult to avoid criticism about whether it was a hospitality encounter.
This is Park Chan-beom.

Ahn Seung-nam, Mayor of Guri, visited a golf course in Chuncheon last August.
Golf partners were real estate developer Kim Mo and senior executives from two large construction companies.
It is at that point that the meeting between them becomes a problem.
On August 3, last year, the city of Guri made a public offering for a private business for the city development project along the Han River.
78 construction companies were so interested in submitting letters of intent to participate, but the construction company executives who participated in the competition and the mayor of Guri had an inappropriate golf meeting.
Controversy also arose in the city council.
[Ahn Seungnam/Guri Mayor (Last December): One day my friend asked me to play golf after a long time, so there were people around him introducing them as ○○ construction companies, ○○ construction companies, and ○○ construction company executives. .]
The construction company also said it had played golf with Mayor Ahn.
[C construction company employee: He said he was playing golf.
Representative ○○○ and struck ○○.]
It was confirmed that Mayor Ahn had met with construction companies even before the golf meeting.
Five people ate dinner at a high-end Chinese restaurant in the 63 building in Yeouido, Seoul.
[B construction company employee (voice band): I kept doing 40 degrees, so I was just taking one shot.
As soon as I came, I felt like,'Oh, you're a good politician
.'
[B construction company employee (voice): I don't remember who paid it.
I remember that it wasn't 1/n.]
Mayor Ahn replied that the meal was paid by the real estate developer Kim Mo, who was present.
If Mr. Kim made the payment, he may violate the solicitation prohibition law.
[Lee Choong-yoon/Spokesman of the Korean Bar Association: The real estate business itself has nothing to do with requesting redevelopment or anything like this, and since the people who were present are the construction company owners, it was calculated by the real estate agent in that relationship...

Mayor Ahn Seung-nam explained that the dinner at the Chinese restaurant also went out without knowing that the construction company executives were present.
