Yeongtong Dream Nightclub Defies Administrative Orders in 'Audacious Construction'

Yeongtong Dream Nightclub, which is undertaking ceiling opening and closing construction work, is proceeding with the project despite administrative orders from Suwon City to halt construction and restore the site to its original condition.

In response, residents in the surrounding area are raising voices of criticism and strongly objecting, saying the nightclub is pushing ahead with construction while ignoring the administrative agency's restoration order.

Starting on the 22nd of last month when the nightclub began demolishing part of the roof and installing support structures, as of the 1st, Yeongtong Nightclub was continuing construction by further dismantling roof panels.

In response, the city sent an official document to Yeongtong Dream Nightclub on the 23rd of last month, notifying it to restore the site by the 31st, stating that the roof demolition work was preliminary work for the ceiling opening and closing project.

However, by the following day, the 1st, Yeongtong Dream Nightclub not only failed to restore the site but expanded construction work, leading to growing public criticism that the nightclub is ignoring administrative directives.

On the Suwon City website's "Citizen's Voice" civil complaints bulletin board, residents' voices calling for strong administrative action against Yeongtong Dream Nightclub's forced ceiling opening and closing construction continue daily without pause.

A city official stated, “On the 1st, the day after the restoration deadline, we visited the construction site and recommended halting construction and restoring the site to its original state. However, the nightclub responded that they are proceeding with remodeling and cannot stop since costs have already been invested, and they will continue with construction.”

The official announced on the 1st, “We will file criminal charges against the nightclub for violating the construction halt and site restoration order.”
