Accordingly, on the 23rd and 24th, our production team visited Wonju City Hall officials and discussed for an amicable solution. Wonju City's position on the movie 'Chiaksan' was as follows.

First of all, regarding the request to change the title of the movie and delete all parts that mention 'Mt. We asked for your understanding that re-shooting is not possible due to the fact that he is serving in the military.
Then, regarding the request to be notified that the actual region and events in the main story are unrelated and that the fictional contents have been processed, 'the names of persons, place names, companies and organizations, and all other names mentioned or described in the film have already been included in the main story. Incidents and episodes are all fictionally created, and even if there are real cases, it is revealed that this is due to coincidence'.

Lastly, the production company also expressed regret for the situation in which an unofficial poster recently posted on the director's personal SNS account was leaked and spread online, and the poster uploaded to the personal account was deleted before misunderstandings grew. Nevertheless, for the poster that is still spreading online, we would like to resolve it in a way that can be deleted by requesting a digital funeral service company.
The part that Wonju City was most concerned about was the misunderstanding that a movie set in Chiaksan Mountain would be brutal and violent to the extent that 'dismembered corpses' appeared on posters, so during the deliberation process, 'viewers aged 15 and over' were evaluated for that part. , and proposed to clear up misunderstandings by holding a group preview for Wonju officials and local residents.
