The author claimed, "While taking a walk on the last day of my stay, I looked at the window on the side of the sauna and found that I could see the thermometer inside the sauna from the outside."

He added, "The hotel responded that the inside is not visible during the day and the blinds are lowered in the evening because it is coated with a glass barrier, but the blinds have never been lowered at the time I used to."

The author emphasized, "I paid more than 800,000 won per night, and I was convicted of taking a shower naked in front of others," he said. "The hotel did not announce this, so other users do not even know about the damage."

The hotel side added, "We are checking CCTV through an investigation with the police, and it is confirmed that there was no damage that we were concerned about," and added, "We will work harder on meticulous on-site operation for customer safety and convenience in the future."
