I was preparing to open a new academy, but there was a report saying that the school office official made a mistake and suffered a lot of damage. I heard that there was no problem with the permit, so I started the interior work, but it was only after a long time that I found out that it is a place that cannot be licensed.



Correspondent Choi Seon-gil reported.

Koh Seung-hyeon, who decided to open an academy on the second floor of a commercial building in Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do.



However, I was worried about the singing practice area on the first basement floor.



It is because I have heard about the rule that private institutes must not be in the same building as a business that harms the educational environment.



Mr. Ko went directly to the Office of Education and inquired, and was told there was no problem.



If the total floor area is 1,650 square meters or more, even if there are harmful businesses in the same building, a license can be issued.



[Seung-hyeon Ko/CEO: Because the total floor area is higher than the standard, you wrote in the document that there is no problem with the karaoke room in the basement… .] The



official in charge left a note stating that there was no problem in the civil complaint documents.



Go immediately spent 100 million won, paid a deposit, and started working on the interior.



However, near the end of the construction, I heard the thunderous news that the permit was not allowed.



The shopping mall that Mr. Ko signed a contract with is one of three buildings built on the same lot.



In the end, the academy was not allowed to enter because of karaoke, which is a harmful facility for the educational environment.



Go was in a position to lose 100 million won without accepting a single student.



[Seung-hyeon Ko/CEO: (deposit) 50 million won and (monthly rent) 2.25 million won.

The demolition fee and the air conditioner didn't go in, but the plumbing work was all finished.] The



Office of Education Support admits that it did not understand the problem when checking the documents for the first time, but it is in the position that there is no problem in the regulations and there is no responsibility because the final permission has not been obtained.



[Education Support Office staff: There is no problem, so I never told you to do the construction.

I'll tell you when the final review is over...

Mr. Ko plans to file an administrative appeal against the Office of Education.
