Recently, a new form of school violence that requires students to pay for electric scooters instead of students is taking place.

I registered as a member in the name of a reporter, but I can register other people's cards and there is no problem with rental and payment.

We shouldn't do things that each other shouldn't do, but since this is only a competition...

[Choi Chung-man / Lawyer: If such systematic measures are taken so that only credit cards of family members can be registered and paid (it can be improved.)]
