Controversies popping up everywhere in power
There is a controversy over preferential treatment over the presidential family, such as the Moon Jae-in administration’s governmental dilemma, such as the sluggish vaccine introduction and the real estate crisis, and the receipt of cultural subsidies from President Moon’s son Jun-yong. The Blue House and the government refused to submit evidence, avoiding detailed explanations, and even the circumstances that seemed to silence the people involved were revealed. We looked at three representative examples.

Seoul National University Children’s Hospital is crowded with visitors. It usually takes months from appointment to treatment. [연합뉴스]
President Moon Jae-in’s only grandson, Seo Mo-gun, is caught up in suspicion that there was inappropriate behavior such as requesting medical treatment and advancing treatment days while receiving treatment at Seoul National University Children’s Hospital. People’s Power Kwak Sang-do Clinic (Jaeseon·Daegu Jung-gu, Nam-gu) said that three days ago, “Seo-gun made a reservation at the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescents at Seoul National University Children’s Hospital in mid-May, and received a report that he also received treatment with other departments such as otorhinolaryngology on the same day.” did. However, the Blue House continues to be silent. I asked former aide Kwak, who investigated the suspicion.
- How did you get the tip?
- “I received a tip from a doctor at Seoul National University in early July. ‘In around May, the presidential grandson didn’t even make reservations according to the rules, and he came to the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescents at the Children’s Hospital of Seoul National University. Seoul National University Children’s Hospital usually takes several months from appointment to medical treatment, but the doctors in charge were uncomfortable as the Western Army surpassed this and received treatment at an accelerated rate, and it seems that the informant who heard this was resentful and informed Kwak Sang-do’s office.”
- Did you ask the hospital if the report was true?
- “Yes. When he questioned the contents of the report to the nursing manager of Seoul National University Children’s Hospital, he admitted that a VIP (the president’s family) came to the hospital. However, it was not disclosed in which department he received medical treatment. So, when I checked through the urinary tract, the Seoul National University hospital records say that Seogun came on April 20th.”
- When did the Western military make a reservation?
- “According to the head of the nursing office, the Western Army contacted me from the Blue House a day or two before coming to the hospital. (Who did you contact at the hospital?) The team leader level nurse was contacted, and the nurse reported this to the nursing manager. In a word, it seems that the Blue House has asked for a time because Seogun will go to the hospital tomorrow, so the hospital has hurriedly entered the reservation list with’VIP’. The thing that arouses even more anger is that he came to the hospital with such an attribute and went through several departments rather than one. It seems to be a clear violation of the’Kim Young-ran Act’. At that time, the Western military presumes that he went to an international school in Bangkok, Thailand, and then returned to Korea for reasons such as the worsening of the coronavirus, and then visited the hospital.
- How do you say that Westerners were treated?
- “On the day of the treatment, he did not bring many security guards, and he said he waited for the order on the bench that was open in front of the Department of Children and Adolescents. Last July, it was not true while questioning the Blue House, but the Blue House staff reported that’the (opposition) National Assembly member aide is pursuing suspicion of rapid medical treatment in the West, and the media seems to have smelled it’, and that the Blue House was angry. .”
Meanwhile, Rep. Kwak Sang-do requested the Foundation to disclose information on all 281 cases for which the president’s son Jun-yong received an emergency grant of 14 million won for corona-damaged artists from the Seoul Cultural Foundation. The key point is how Jun-yong, who applied for the support fund because the exhibition was canceled three times, surpassed 84% of the applicants and received the highest amount. Rep. Kwak’s side intensively asked how many points Junyong’s evaluation score was and how many times the exhibition was canceled more than three times.
However, the Foundation is refusing to disclose any information, said Assistant Assemblyman Kwak. He said, “It has been a common practice for public institutions to disclose the scores of the recipients to the National Assembly even though they do not know the identity of the members who have judged the grants.” “When the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture was asked to disclose information on the 21st, the working-level staff seemed to disclose the scores as usual, but turned back that they could not even disclose the scores from the next day.” “In the judgment that the problem will increase if the application process is disclosed, It is highly likely that the Foundation’s leadership has even blocked the disclosure of scores.”
Dongtan Interior Company
The place where the parent company that received the order for the interior construction (42.9 million won) of the Dongtan public rental housing that President Moon visited on the 11th marked the’address’ in the estimate. It was a villa-type house in Guro-gu. Reporter Jang Jin-young
When President Moon Jae-in’s visit to Dongtan Public Rental Housing (11th), which caused controversy by mentioning that “in 13 pyeong, 4 people can live,” the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), which hosted this visit ▶ 42.9 million won for interior maintenance ▶ A total of 450 million won was spent, including 410 million won for the event, the power of the people, Rep. Kim Eun-hye (Chosun and Bundang). However, the company in charge of interior construction of 42.9 million won is a mystery. According to the estimate submitted by LH to Congressman Kim, the construction company is Company B, represented by Mr. Kim, and the address is indicated as 00, XX-ro, Guro-gu, Seoul. However, in this quotation, the business registration number and business type, which are usually specified in the upper right of the quotation, are omitted. Besides, when I went to the address of the business place, it was a general house. It is said that cabbage was once placed in front of the house. I called Kim, the representative of this company, and asked.
- I’m an editorial writer for the JoongAng Ilbo, so I called because I had a question.
- When I looked for the address, it was a family house.
- Do you have an office?
- Do you have an office?
An estimate submitted by the company that received the order for the interior of the house that President Moon found.
According to another reporter who covered Mr. Kim, Mr. Kim replied with the intention of “there is a separate business site”, but he said “I cannot tell you” to the question “where are you”.
According to a member of Congressman Eun-hye Kim, the company only repeated “sorry” even when asked if it has registered as a business or what the number is. The Korea Housing Corporation said, “I know that the company in question is a normal company and can be registered as a business”, but when asked to provide the business registration number, it said, “It is private company information and cannot be disclosed.”
A tax expert who requested anonymity said, “If the business registration number is missing in the quotation and the office is not disclosed, the possibility of an unregistered company or an impatient company cannot be ruled out.” He added, “If the Korea Housing Corporation paid more than 40 million won and entrusted the interior of the rental house that the President is looking for, the basic information such as business registration and location should be transparently disclosed so that unnecessary suspicion will not be raised.”
Lee Jong-gu, reprimanded in power
Lee Jong-gu, a professor at Seoul National University (formerly the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), who said in the JoongAng Ilbo on the 22nd, said that at two meetings attended by President Moon on two occasions in February and June. He expressed his painful feelings. On the 22nd, when the article was released, the power of the people, Shin Sang-jin, chairman of the Special Countermeasures Committee for Corona 19, said, “Professor Lee was embarrassed and tried not to talk deeply while admitting that’the article is true’.
Chairman Shin said, “I felt that the ruling forces would have rebuked Professor Lee for’why did you tell the newspaper?’, so when I asked,’Did the government call you?’, he said,’Well, I’m just suffering anyway.’ It is highly likely that he was reprimanded by the power class.” In this regard, the Blue House said, “There is a difference between the content of the interview with Professor Lee and the content of the article by the JoongAng Ilbo. (Professor Lee) refuted that the expression’I made a direct statement’ and’it was useless’ is different from the truth.”
However, Chairman Shin said, “Professor Lee told me that all the contents of the article were true except for the point that’some staff turned the topic’.” Chairman Shin said, “The Vaccine Task Force (TF) team formed by the government in June consisted of two civilian experts and one manager at the department of the Ministry of Health, two from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and four from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There are limits to the blame.”
