Actor Lee Young-ae clarified the suspicion that arose in connection with the support of members of the National Assembly’s National Defense Council.
On the 2nd, Lee Young-ae’s agency said, “Actress Lee Young-ae’s position on the controversy over the controversy over the funding of the National Assembly member,” and said, “It is completely different from the facts” in the suspicion of sponsorship of a member of the National Defense Council and her husband’s business, which was raised by several reports recently.
Lee Young-ae said, “(husband) Chairman Chung Ho-young is neither a military contractor nor an arms broker.”
In addition, regarding the personal information related to Chairman Ho-young Chung, the process of forming property, he said, “There are many errors among the contents floating on the Internet.”
At the same time, he explained that the main job of Chairman Ho-young Chung was “is doing investment-related business with overseas telecom companies,” and “The company is located in Seattle, USA.” He emphasized that “the formation of property is also very normal as it is not a defense weapon brokerage, but a telecommunication company (Dacom, Hanaro Telecom, etc.) operating investment, and these contents are well recognized by the tax authorities.”
Regarding Lee Young-ae’s support of members of the National Defense Council, he said, “Lee Young-ae’s father and father-in-law are soldiers and veterans who personally went through the Korean War.”
They existed and said that the Lee Young-ae family lived a happy and grateful life in their arms. As the story goes, Mr. Lee Young-ae explained that the support of members of the National Assembly’s National Defense Guard Army was also part of the favor of the soldiers who protected the free Republic of Korea.
Also, he added, “The reason that they supported the lawmakers from the military was those who have lived in the military for decades, so the security field was supported by the opinion that they would have more expertise than the general lawmakers.”
Despite the recent controversy, Lee Young-ae said, “I will continue to support the military without worrying,” and said, “I would like to express my deep gratitude to the veterans and military officers who once again protected the Free Korea.
The controversy related to Lee Young-ae arose on February 25 when the Central Election Commission released last year’s list of donors exceeding 3 million won. In addition, Lee Young-ae sponsored 5 million won each to Democratic Party Rep. Kim Byeong-ju and People’s Power Han Ki-ho, Shin Won-sik. This is the highest amount under the Political Fund Act.
With Lee Young-ae’s sponsorship, suspicions arose from some that it was because her husband Jung Ho-young was doing the defense business. The National Defense Agency has the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, which oversees the government’s weapons development and purchase decisions, as its competent audit body.
Accordingly, Lee Young-ae immediately clarified, “Because Lee Young-ae is a military family, he has continued to support the soldiers because he is attached to them,” and “Chairman Chung also does not operate a defense company.”
Actor Lee Young-ae expressed his position on the controversy over the controversy over the funding of the National Assembly member
In recent years, some media donated to lawmakers of the National Assembly’s National Defense Council.
It was controversial when it was reported to the effect that it was inappropriate because it was in mind, but the summary of the report is as follows.
“Lee Young-ae’s husband, Jung Ho-young, is a big hand in the defense industry, an employee in the defense industry, the owner of a defense company H company, involved in the military supply industry,
Mr. Jung is an arms broker, providing 50 million won for the convenience of paying the military. Unprosecution, actor Lee Young-ae, the wife of the military contractor, the wife of the military contractor, providing a large amount of sponsorship to the National Defense Commission.”
However, the above reported content is completely different from the facts, so if you have cited it or posted an article with similar content, we would like you to delete the article.
Chairman Ho-young Chung is neither a military contractor nor an arms broker.
This fact could be easily understood if the reporter in charge of the National Assembly for the fair report made a little effort when writing the article, but it is regrettable that the reporter was reported without confirmation of the fact.
In addition, the articles related to Chairman Ho-young Chung, who are circulating on the Internet, have many errors in the process of forming personal information or property.
So, if you quote it, we will inform you that it could be fake news.
Hoyoung Jung’s main business is in investment-related business with overseas telecommunications companies, and the company is located in Seattle, USA. It is very normal that the formation of assets is also based on investments in the operation of telecommunications companies (Dacom, Hanaro Telecom, etc.), not through defense weapons brokerage. These are also well recognized by the tax authorities.
Young-ae Lee’s father and father-in-law are soldiers and veterans who personally went through the Korean War. Lee Young-ae said that today’s free Republic of Korea exists because of the noble sacrifices of soldiers like father and father-in-law, and in that arms, the Lee Young-ae family lives a grateful and happy life.
As the story goes, Mr. Lee Young-ae said that the support of members of the National Defense Guard’s army was a part of repaying the grace to the soldiers who protected the free Republic of Korea. Is said to have been sponsored by the opinion that he would have more professionalism than ordinary lawmakers.
Mr. Lee Young-ae expressed his deep gratitude to the veterans and military servicemen who once again protected the free Republic of Korea, thinking that he will continue to support the military regardless of the reports that some media reported incorrectly.
Lastly, Lee Young-ae said that he will realize his shortcomings as a mother and wife of two children by accepting the warm love, encouragement, and reprimand and advice of the people, and that he will live as a model for others with a more humble attitude. He said he was sorry.
Thank you.
