He explained, “But it didn’t work well. I went and dropped out of the audition,” he explained. It was not for the purpose of saving the cost of studying abroad, but the intention that they actually received a student visa for their spouse’s studies.

Regarding the cost of studying abroad, candidate Hwang Hee said, “It was a very difficult and difficult time for me personally because I was not a member of the National Assembly at the time.” As for the procurement, he explained, “At the time, there was a private house that was worth 140 million won. There, I paid 70 million won, and my wife 70 million won. In addition, he explained, “My spouse’s real sister lived right in front of (Boston’s) house. My younger sister also lived in New York.”

He also stressed that “I never went (to the United States) to send my child to school,” he said. “There is a public school in Arlington near Boston where the next-level children go to,” he said. “I went there because I said it was free.” He added, “I would like to tell you so carefully that if I had been to study abroad for my child, I would have sent that school, and then I would not have come to Korea.”

Candidate Hwang replied that it was Thompson Elementary School in Arlington, USA when Chairman Do Jong-hwan asked for the name of the school. After returning to Korea, Hwang’s daughter went to an autonomous private high school before going to a foreign school.
