The inspector entered the building lobby and explained their purpose to the security personnel. After communication, they obtained permission to enter. On the directory inside the building, they found that the corresponding address did not match the company's information.

Upon arriving at the target floor (16th floor), the field investigator found no clear signage for ETOP in the office area, nor any security measures. However, due to reasons such as lack of appointment, the investigator was unable to enter the premises, take photos of the reception area or its logo, and confirmed that this office is not a shared workspace.
