500 million lease on a deposit basis, and the gym eventually closed on July 25th. Make sure you get a refund



Sports trainer Yang Chi-seung reported the closure of his gym 'bodyspace' and asked for a refund from members.

On the 15th, Yang Chi-seung posted a message on his SNS, saying, "Hello, I'm the director of Body Space. It will close on July 25th"We are proceeding with the refund of members, but if your phone number has changed or you haven't received a text message, please call us and proceed with the refund. Please receive a refund 'must' by July 24th. Thank you to everyone who has loved us so far."

Amid many people's curiosity about the sudden closure of the business, Yang Su-seung previously confessed to the damage of the gym-related fraud he was experiencing on Channel A '4 Table'.




At the time, he said "I've heard of a lease fraud, but I didn't think I'd be beaten" and "I thought I'd return it if I paid the deposit, but it hasn't been returned even after two years. The amount of damage alone is 500 million won." Moreover, he explained that he had known the landlord for decades, and that he had no doubts at all because his son even had a history of working at the gym he ran.

Yang Su-seung met with several lawyers and was preparing legal action, smiling bitterly, "'Now the lawyer's office is more convenient than the gym.'"

He confessed that the operation of the gym was also adversely affected. "There are more people who find it uncomfortable to re-register, not being able to register as a member just before."It's not just that I'm having a hard time, but I've prepared a separate refund for fear of harming my members."




The fern must prioritize the protection of its members until the end, and there shall be no loss of its membership even if it is closed," he added.
