Lastly, there is a complaint raised at an apartment complex that has caused quite a stir online, isn't there?

Yes, an apology letter written by a cleaning team leader at an apartment complex was recently shared on an online community.

At an apartment in Songdo, Incheon, a resident filed a complaint expressing discomfort about sharing an elevator with cleaning staff. In response, the cleaning team leader personally wrote a handwritten letter to apologize.

In the letter, the team leader apologized, stating, "We will ensure that our staff does not ride the elevator with residents," and asked for understanding, adding, "Our cleaning staff works in the dirtiest and most difficult areas," and "They work so hard that their undergarments are soaked with sweat."

Once the story became known, netizens voiced their criticism, saying, "They should be thanking them, yet they made them write an apology letter," and "If it's that uncomfortable, take the stairs."

It seems we need to take a moment to reflect on the fact that behind the clean environment we take for granted lies someone else's sweat and hard work.
