It has been revealed that Moon Da-hye (41), the daughter of former President Moon Jae In, has continued to operate even after allegations were raised that she operated illegally at an officetel in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.

According to Channel A's report on the 22nd, guests who used Moon's officetel met the reporters and said in the beginning, "I came to my cousin's house." However, when reporters asked again, he confessed that he rented an officetel through an application for shared accommodation two weeks ago. The price was around 100,000 won per night.

Guests said, "(The owner of the officetel) told me to tell my cousin that I came to his house if anyone asked me," adding that the same request was made in the reservation notice.

The guests added that they did not know it was an officetel under Moon's name. According to the report, there were also statements from residents that they had seen Moon several times in the building late last year.

Channel A said it asked Moon about whether he was a shared lodging business, but received a reply that there were no officials or positions to respond.

Meanwhile, in order to operate an officetel as a shared lodging facility, facilities and facilities must be equipped in accordance with the Public Health Act and a public health business report must be made to the competent district office.

It stipulates that if you do not report your accommodation business, you will be sentenced to up to two years in prison or fined up to 20 million won.
