[단독]Former MBC executive recommended by the guards, received stocks in exchange for appearances

It was revealed that Kim Yoon-young, former president of Wonju MBC, who was recently recommended as a member of the Broadcasting and Communications Deliberation by the chairman of the National Assembly, was sentenced to a fine in the court after receiving money or gifts from a businessman in exchange for his appearance. The opposition party demanded an immediate withdrawal of the recommendation, saying, “It is inappropriate for the former president Kim to go to an onlooker to deliberate on the fairness of broadcasting.” As customary, the committee members recommended by the National Assembly Speaker have served as the vice-chairman of the Guards Committee, who receives vice-minister-level courtesy.

According to lawmaker Park Dae-chul and the legal profession on the 28th, On December 19, 2003, the Suwon District Court sentenced a fine of 5 million won and an additional 10 million won in fines, claiming that Kim’s reconnaissance (act of taking advantage of property after receiving an unfair solicitation) was admitted on December 19, 2003. The conviction was finalized 8 days after the sentence was sentenced because former president Kim did not appeal.

According to the ruling on the case obtained by the JoongAng Ilbo, in mid-June 2000, Moo Kim, the representative of the jewelry sales company A, was trained at the time by Mr. B, the head of the MBC Institute for Unification, for the purpose of appearing in the liberal arts program’Era of Success’ introducing self-made figures I was introduced to former President Kim, the director.

At the time, Mr. Kim said, “Please allow A company and Mr. Kim to be broadcast in the era of success, at golf courses in Gwangju City, Gyeonggi Province. Company A’s stock is currently sold to institutional investors at 50,000 won per share, but if it is listed on the KOSDAQ later, the price will jump tremendously. “I will sell them as cheap as 30,000 won per week to the directors.” In response, former President Kim and Mr. B responded positively.

In early July, Mr. Kim sold 500 shares of Company A to Mr. Kim and Mr. B for 30,000 won per share, both for 15 million won. After that, in October of the same year, Mr. Kim actually did an interview at the time of MBC’s success at Company A’s office. However, when Company A failed to list on the KOSDAQ and the stock market showed a general decline, President Kim and Mr. B requested the return of the stock price in the fall of 2001 and received all the investment funds from Mr. Kim in exchange for returning the stock.

At the time, the judiciary “We can’t help but disappointed that the defendants, who are in the leading position of society, are moving lightly due to the small interests in front of them.”“The defendants are ashamed of their actions and are deeply regretful of their wrongdoing, so they decided to take this into account and choose a fine to punish them,” he explained the reason for the sentence.

In a call with JoongAng Ilbo, former president Kim “The MBC senior, whom I was close to at the time, gave me 10 million won for giving me money, and I received it for giving me a stock deposit,” he said. “This later became a problem with the’stock lobby case’. There was an unfair part, but there was a side of acknowledging the sin because of a senior who was in trouble at the time.”Insisted. In addition, the former president Kim said, “After the PD who was in charge of the success period interviewed Kim, the CEO of the jewelry company, it was reported that the appearance would not be suitable, and the broadcast was not finally released.”

Even after the conviction of reprisal was confirmed, former President Kim was repeatedly appointed to important positions at MBC. After serving as the president of MBC Americas for 3 years from January 2003, he served as president of Wonju MBC for 3 years from March 2006. For this reason, it is said that there was also an internal issue raised by MBC against former President Kim.

According to a document obtained by Rep. Park Dae-chul, the MBC Fair Broadcasting Union under the Korean Federation of Trade Unions addressed former president Kim Haapyeong, who was elected as MBC auditor at the time in February 2009. “Are you saying that a person plagued with corruption dare to cross the audit spot monitoring MBC and lobby for it?” “It may be better to leave the fish shop to a cat rather than seat such a person as thanks.”He criticized him.

Park is “It is a matter of entrusting the sheep to the wolf to have a greeting with a back pocket in exchange for appearing on the broadcast in the seat of an onlooker who deliberates on the fairness of the broadcast and decides legal discipline.Saying “Chairman Park Byung-seok should immediately withdraw the nomination of candidates.”Said.
