여기 보시면 초록 페인트 밑이 조금 부풀어 있습니다. 방수층이 들뜬 자리입니다.
If you look here, the green paint is a little swollen underneath. That is where the waterproof layer has lifted.

담당자님, 그건 페인트만 갈라진 거 아니에요? 겉에 금이 간 것밖에 안 보이는데요.
Isn't that just the paint cracking? All I can see is a crack on the surface.

페인트는 맨 위에 바르는 마감재예요. 문제는 그 밑에 깔린 방수층이고요. 여기를 손으로 한번 눌러 보시겠어요?
The paint is the finishing coat that goes on top. The problem is the waterproof layer laid underneath it. Would you press here with your hand?
