Mr. A, who was assigned to the afternoon team group, said "After stopping by the shade house after the first half, the sky suddenly darkened and thick ash poured out. Flames began to be seen in the distance as well. The wind was so strong that I could see the fire moving fast"I have to go into the second half of the play, but I was so scared that I was consulting with customers, but the employee came and said, `I have to go into the second half.'" In the end, A's team gave up the second half and returned home, saying 'If you don't cancel, I'll just go.




In response to these claims, the golf course responded to the Chosun Dotcom saying, `We did not force the play in the wild. It was only windy the day before and there was no fire in sight. Some guests withdrew saying it was too windy and smokey, and while calculating, the fire began to spread and evacuated." As for GreenPee "I was charged only as much as I hit, and it was difficult to refund it because the fire suddenly spread. The rest of the team will return it in cash.'

A part of the golf course was burned by the forest fire, and the golf course has been closed.
