Jeong Jin-seok, Han Ki-ho, Shin Won-sik, and Democratic Party Rep. Kim Byeong-ju. Subsequently, suspicion was raised that the donation was inappropriate for the defense industry of Lee Young-ae’s husband, Jeong Ho-young, and controversy arose.
The following is the full text of the statement posted by Lee Young-ae’s law firm Logos.
Recently, some media reported that the donation of Lee Young-ae, donated to members of the National Defense Council, was inappropriate because it was with her husband’s business in mind, and it was controversial. The summary of the report is as follows.
“Lee Young-ae’s husband, Jung Ho-young, is a big hand in the defense industry, a defense industry worker, the owner of a defense company H, is involved in the military payment industry, Jeong is a weapon broker, providing 50 million won for the convenience of military payments. Offer”.
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, articles related to Chairman Ho-young Chung on the Internet have many errors in the process of forming personal information or property, so if you cite them, we will inform you that it could be fake news.
Hoyoung Jung’s main business is in investment-related business with overseas telecom 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 as a defense weapon 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 returning the grace to the soldiers who protected the free Republic of Korea. Also, the support of the members of the military was the people who have lived in the military for decades.

Mr. Lee Young-ae expressed his deep gratitude to the veterans and military personnel who once again protected the Free Korea, as he plans to 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 people’s warm love, encouragement, reprimand and advice, and that he will live as a model for others with a more humble attitude.I apologize for causing concern to fans with this controversy.
