Open your eyes and Kobe's "blind" wedding...price disclosure drive

[Anchor]
It is a culture that is conscious of other people's eyes and a once-in-a-lifetime event, but marriage service companies are like "gap" in the atmosphere of patience.

Above all, the problem is 'black price', and the government has announced that it will create a management system such as price disclosure by creating a law.

Lee Seung-eun reports.

The saying that you get a nose cut when you open your eyes, the youth who have had a wedding feel real.

[Victim of marriage service company: They don't tell us the amount of money for each item. They don't even tell me how much the penalty will be, so in the end, when it becomes a situation to change the schedule or change the company, I send it to them, and they say, '11% of the down payment is a penalty,' but I don't know how much I signed. [Just know 3 million won]

Without proper price disclosure, there is no competition, so the word "wedding inflation" comes out.

The average cost of marriage services is 25 million won, and it costs 20 million won for the ceremony and 5 million won for "Sudme," which means studio shooting, dress rental, and makeup.

Dress helpers are also essential, and even preparing snacks for studio shoots has become a practice.

Companies split various items and raise costs.

The wedding hall receives a ceremony and event fee, the studio receives a separate photo original and modification fee, and the dress is paid separately to try on.

It's a choice in words, but it's actually a must.

If you need to make up early for your lunch ceremony, we will charge you an early start fee.

As a result, the average open price of a smartphone company is 1.99 million won, but the actual cost is 5.2 million won.

Consumer complaints are on the rise.

The government has decided to voluntarily push for price disclosure with major companies and make laws mandatory.

[Choi Sang-mok / Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance: Starting next year, we will disclose the prices of basic items and major selection items. In the future, we will enact the Marriage Service Act and institutionalize it by preparing guidelines for price disclosure.]

In that case, the wedding hall and the preparation agency must file a business declaration.

The government also plans to review insurance coverage and create standard terms and conditions that include detailed prices, refunds and penalties.
