"I worked hard but I became a criminal".the sad death of a blind massager
JTBC's press screen.
A blind person who runs a massage center left the world when he warned that local governments could have to spit out 200 million won in cash, calling it an "unfair supply."

JTBC reported on the 9th that Jang Sung-il, a blind massage, was found dead at a massage center that allowed him to support his parents and two sons on the 4th of last month.

The closed-circuit (CC) TV video of the massage center released on the day showed Jang walking and walking with his back in the narrow store, locking the store door and entering the pantry.Mr.

is said to have left a suicide note saying, "The hope of life has collapsed," "I've lived hard, but I've become a criminal," and "It's so futile."Three weeks before Jang

died, Uijeongbu City warned Jang that it was illegal to ask an activity supporter who helps daily life such as meals and laundry to work as a massage center, and that he could recover 200 million won in labor costs over the past five years.

In this regard, Jang's sister appealed, "Isn't it possible to get help with input and calculation while doing this livelihood from a person who acts as an eye?"

According to visually impaired organizations, it turned out that not one or two people experienced this. A blind massager

said he was warned to take back 50 million won in March, saying it was illegal after asking an activity supporter, "Please look at your hair on the mat, see if you have cosmetics on it."

Meanwhile, this year, a "work supporter" was created to help small disabled business owners, but it is still in the pilot stage.
