On the 26th, the Jeju District Court's First Administration (Senior Judge Kim Hyun-ryong) ruled against the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed by Kal Hotel Network Co., a Hanjin affiliate. The KAL hotel network was trying to block Seogwipo City's request to restore the land to its original state.


Hanjin Group has used three blocks of land across from the Seogwipo KAL Hotel in Seogwipo as private property.


The site is designated as a road, but no actual road has been opened. Three lots overlap with the hotel site and one of them blocks Olle trail #6


The KAL hotel network has reportedly paid the compensation to Seogwipo city, but had refused the restoration order.
