According to the article, architect Min stopped by Byeongsan Seowon around 3 p.m. on December 30 last year. It is said that about seven buses and trucks were parked near the parking lot for KBS drama shooting vehicles. Architect Min, who was walking inside expecting that he was filming a broadcast, witnessed the production team damage cultural assets.
He said, `There were items that appeared to be drama props all over the campus, and some staff members were nailing wooden posts to hang their backs"I looked around and found that there were already quite a few backs hanging from the Mandeoru pillar."
In the actual photos released, it is confirmed that those who appear to be broadcast staff set up their backs by nailing them on the top of the Mandeoru pillar.
A civilian architect complained to the staff about the damage, but the answer was "It has already been approved by Andong City." "If you're curious, can't you contact the city hall?" "How many times do I have to explain that I've been granted permission?" It is said that it was a red card answer.
Later, architect Min contacted Andong City Hall's cultural heritage and reported it to the National Heritage Administration (formerly Cultural Heritage Administration). "I wonder if it would be right to allow cultural properties as filming locations," he said. "It is deplorable that this will happen during the filming of KBS's drama, a public broadcaster. It is not something that can be dismissed as insignificant at all."
They say that the damage to cultural assets by the broadcasting production team is embarrassing with the cultural heritage of Andong City Hall. A City Hall official said, `As soon as I got the call, I called the filming team and told them to demolish it"At that time, the management office staff went to the scene to check whether it was demolished or not", he explained.
He went on to say that "the filming was allowed on the condition that cultural properties should not be damaged" and that "the current cultural heritage department staff went to Byeongsan Seowon to closely examine the damage condition, and there will be measures such as an administrative order afterwards."
KBS2's new drama `Having the First Night of Namjoo' is a romance fantasy in which a minor role in a romance novel with the soul of an ordinary female college student spends a night with the novel's most obsessed Namjoo. Seo-hyun, Ok Taek-yeon, Kwon Kwon-sol, Seo Beom-jun, and Ji Hye-won will appear.
