The late Michael Jackson, a world-renowned pop star, stayed for two nights and three days in Tirol on November 18, 1997 to discuss investment issues at Muju Resort.
At the time, the police placed about 50 policemen at the entrance of the 5th floor of the hotel, and at the request of Michael Jackson, the access of the general public as well as the reporters was completely controlled.
While staying in room 501, Michael Jackson said,’Save our children and save our children’ with a ballpoint pen on the wooden side table (small table) next to the bed. Korea is’God’ and Muju is love. It also engraved the message'(LOVE and SAVE OUR CHILDREN. KOREA IS GOD AND MUJU IS LOVE. LOVE always)’ with eternal love. It has not yet been confirmed whether the side table in the room was destroyed by this fire.
According to the Jeonbuk Fire Department, etc., a fire broke out on the rooftop of the Tyrol Hotel in Deogyusan Resort, Seolcheon-myeon, Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do around 11:04 pm on the 20th. 83 guests and staff in the hotel rooms evacuated before the flames spread.
A guest who could not escape from the third floor of the room was also rescued by firefighters. In the process, a guest in her 50s was transported to the hospital after inhaling smoke, but it is known that there was no injury to life when discharged after receiving treatment.
However, as the fire expanded to the hotel building, it was reported that many household items such as beds were lost. The police and fire authorities estimate that the fire was caused by overheating of firewood stoves and pipes, and are investigating the exact scale of the damage and the cause of the fire.
