It was confirmed on the 8th that the wife of Hwang-hee, the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, received a research fund for industry-academic cooperation after “late admission” to the graduate school of Hanyang University where an acquaintance is an advisor.
According to Lee Yong’s Office of the People’s Power, Hwang’s wife, Jeong, has been pursuing a doctoral course at Hanyang University’s Graduate School of Software Convergence since March 2018. In the name of participating in the project and performing research assistantships, Jung also received about 1.5 million won from the University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation in 2018.
The power of the people is that Mr. Jeong, who majored in Korean dance, was not admitted to a graduate school that had nothing to do with his major. Jeong obtained a degree in art history and specialty (undergraduate and master’s degree) from the Korea National University of Arts.
In addition, the power of the people is paying attention to the relationship between Professor A of the Erica Campus of Hanyang University, who is the advisor of Mr. Jeong and the lead professor of the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, and Candidate Hwang. Professor A served as the representative director of the Korea Public Design Regional Support Foundation from December 2007 to December 2010, and from January 2015, he served as the director of the registration award, in which Candidate Hwang was the executive director of the foundation (from February 2009 to February 2009). It coincides with the time when I was in charge of (September 2015).
In addition, when Professor A was inaugurated as the President of the Korea Automobile Safety Association under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in September 2019, Candidate Hwang served as a Commissioner for Land, Infrastructure and Transport in the 20th National Assembly.
An official at Lee’s office pointed out, “It is also questionable how the couple Hwang, whose living expenses are 600,000 won per month, covered the expensive graduate school tuition.” An official from the People’s Strength said, “It is reasonable to see that Professor A had the role of Professor A in attending a graduate school that has nothing to do with his major and completing the doctoral course.”
Earlier, Candidate Hwang paid sick leave in his 20s and missed the plenary session and then went on business trips and family trips to the U.S. and Spain, etc. It’s wrapped up. On the day, spokesman Bae Joon-young of People’s Strength pointed out in a commentary that “Candidate Hwang is showing the’miracle of five rice cakes’ and 5,000 people with two fishes.”
