Solo Hell 3, Controversy over 'Unauthorized Occupation of Marine Reserve Area'... "There is an insufficient part in the procedure"
On the afternoon of the 31st, the Netflix original entertainment 'Solo Hell 3' said, "We are checking whether there were any procedural shortcomings in the process of discussions between the production company and the local government in advance during the filming preparation process." We will look for ways to make up for it,” he said.
Start Company, the producer of 'Solo Hell 3', also said, "The production company has completed filming Solo Hell 1 and 2 in Saseungbong Island in 2021 and 2022 in consultation with the local government and the owner." After sending an official letter for filming cooperation, I was working on Solo Hell 3. During the preliminary consultation with the local government, I was not aware that the area was a marine ecology preservation area, and I was aware that it was a marine ecology conservation area through recent reports.”
In addition, "The 'Solo Hell' set is a temporary building, not a building, so there is no wastewater, and after filming, all building materials, generated waste, and garbage are collected and removed." "We will proceed with the withdrawal after restoring the site to its original state. Apart from the consultation, if there were any shortcomings in the procedure, we will check and make up for it."
Suspicions arose earlier that the production company of 'Solo Hell 3' had violated the law on public water management and reclamation. Saseungbongdo is a private property. However, coastal areas are owned by local governments under relevant laws. For that reason, it is possible to build a temporary building only after obtaining permission to use a shared water surface.
Raising buildings on public waters without permission can result in imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 30 million won.
Below is the full text of Netflix's official position.
In the process of preparing for filming, the production company and the local government are discussing in advance, and we are checking whether there were any procedural inadequacies. We will review the shortcomings and find ways to supplement them.
Below is the full text of the company's official position.
This is the position of Start Company, the production company for Solo Hell 3.
Our production company has completed filming Solo Hell 1 and 2 in Saseungbongdo in 2021 and 2022 in consultation with the local government and the owner.
This year, after sending an official letter to Incheon City and Ongjin County Office for filming cooperation, I was working on Solo Hell 3. In the process of prior consultation with the local government, we were not aware that the area was a marine ecology conservation area, and we came to recognize it as a marine ecosystem conservation area through recent reports.
The Solo Hell set is a temporary building, not a building, and does not generate wastewater. Equipment and building materials currently in Saseungbongdo are also scheduled to be withdrawn after collection and restoration of the site. Apart from the consultation, if there were any insufficient parts in the procedure, we will check and supplement them.
