On the 11th, Park Kiyoung, chair of the committee (Chuncheon 3), and other members of the special committee visited the temporary storage facility for archaeological remains (including dolmens) at Hajungdo in Chuncheon to conduct an on-site inspection. The inspection was arranged to directly verify whether the artifacts relocated during the Legoland project promoted under the previous provincial administration of Choi Moonsun are being properly managed and whether they face any risk of damage.

On that day, the special committee received a briefing from officials of Gangwon Jungdo Development Corporation (GJC) on the background of the relocation of the remains and the current status of facility operations. The members closely questioned the measures in place to prevent corrosion and damage to stone relics stored outdoors or in temporary facilities, and focused their review on plans for the safe relocation and restoration of the remains to the heritage park and museum to be established in the future.

In response, Gangwon Jungdo Development Corporation explained, "The remains currently in temporary storage will be relocated to the heritage park and museum to be built within Hajungdo and will be restored and preserved in their original form."

After inspecting the site in person, Chair Park Kiyoung stated, "Since the remains at Hajungdo are valuable prehistoric assets of our region, thorough preservation and management must be the top priority under any circumstances," adding, "Based on the findings of this inspection, we will carefully review all suspicions surrounding the entire Legoland development process and, if institutional improvements are needed, we will actively put them in place."

The special committee plans to compile the materials collected and the conditions observed during this on-site inspection and reflect them in its future fact-finding report.
