A city employee kept a secret career writing web novels — on company time

1. Civil servant A, who works in Gangseo-gu, started serializing a web novel for free in January 2018, then signed with a production company a month later and began earning money from it.1. 강서구 공무원 A씨는 2018년 1월부터 웹소설을 무료 연재하다가 한달후 한 제작업체와 계약을 체결하고 수익활동을 시작함

2. A decided online searches proved novel-writing didn't require 'dual employment' approval, so without ever filing for one, he serialized three web novels from April to October 2018 and earned a total of 837.8 million won.2. A씨는 인터넷 검색을 통해 웹소설 쓰기 등의 저술활동은 겸직허가 신고대상이 아니라고 판단하고 겸직허가를 받지 않은채 2018년 4월~10월까지 총 3편의 웹소설을 연재해 총 8억3780만원의 소득을 올림

3. It was also confirmed A uploaded chapters 38 times during regular work hours and 4 times during overtime — a banned profit-making activity while on the clock.3. 특히 A씨는 웹소설을 근무시간 중에 38회, 초과근무시간 중에 4회 업로드하는 등 금지된 영리업무를 한 것으로도 확인됐음
