Hello, I'm Lee Won-ji.
Since the release of the video, we have taken the reprimand of many people who have left about the office environment seriously.
As it is a space where employees have to spend time and work every day, I should have put working environment and welfare first, but as an employer, my consideration and thought were too lacking.
It's my complacency to get an office and start. I'm just ashamed to think that if my subscribers hadn't pointed it out, I might have continued to force my employees to sacrifice.
With this opportunity, we will immediately communicate with the employees and move the office to a pleasant and spacious environment.
I'm sorry for hurting the employees who trusted and followed me, and I'm truly sorry for causing disappointment to the subscribers who care about me.
In the future, I will take responsibility as an employer and take a closer look around.
I'm sorry.
I'm Lee Wonji's dream
