A Korean-American reporter who stands at the center of the controversy over the case of US President Joe Biden’s first failure of personnel is a topic. Nira Tandon, who was nominated for the first time as the director of the White House Budget Office (OMB) as a member of color, resigned on the 2nd (local time). ) Reporter. Reporter Kim is an American, but uses the Korean name as it is. This is where the pride of being of Korean origin can be read. On his Twitter, there is also a photo of a mother wearing a hanbok and wearing a veil. Last January, when Korean female federal congressman Marylin Sunja Strickland wore a hanbok, he was one of those who posted a photo first with a tweet. In the WP’s reporter introduction column, it is stated that “speaking Korean as well as English”

This is how reporter Kim unintentionally got caught up in the controversy. Tandon was one of the key figures taken by the Biden administration, but harsh conversations were the issue. In the past, he played the role of’fighting chicken’ and left swear words and dead ends against Republican officials online, such as on Twitter. The approval of the Senate is essential for the appointment, but his swearword has even turned some Democratic lawmakers to the back. The Senate’s appointment itself was in jeopardy, as both Democrats and Republicans occupied 50 seats each.

Among the Republican non-partisan lawmakers, Risamerkoski was the most likely person to vote in favor of Tandon, and Tandon had once struck a vicious tweet against Merkoski. Murkosky, however, did not know this. When reporters covering him asked a question with the intention of “How do you view the tweet that Merkoski called you’garbage,'” they said, “What is that?” and one reporter showed him the tweet. He was reporter Kim Seung-min. Fellow reporters took photos of the scene where reporter Kim showed the tweet in question to Congressman Merkoski, and the tweet with the intention of’working hard’ sparked controversy. From the 24th of last month (local time), passionate supporters of the governments of Tandon and Biden started pouring malicious comments and e-mail attacks on reporter Kim. Some of the e-mails that reporter Kim himself posted on Twitter included inscrutable abusive language and racial and sexist remarks.

Then WP began to protect reporters. Reporter Kim’s boss, editor Stephen Ginsberg, directly made a statement with his real name. If you transfer some of the content as it is, it looks like this.

“Racist, sexist, and false fact-based attacks on Seungmin are inundated. (Omitted) Minority women like Seungmin suffer from such malicious attacks every day, no matter what article they write. (Omitted) What Seungmin did is the basics of journalism. As a reporter, I just did the natural thing. (Omitted) No one should be subjected to what Seungmin suffered. Seungmin only did what he was supposed to do, and he did it as well as always. We can no longer be proud that he is part of the WP.”

The support for reporter Kim also appeared in the New York Times (NYT), a competitor of WP. In a column written by NYT’s veteran female veteran columnist Morindawood on the 27th of last month, “There was discriminatory remarks in reporter Kim’s e-mail and social media, and Democratic supporters also called senators who opposed Tandon’s nomination. I started walking,” he wrote. “Reporter Kim had to even hear the word’snitch’.” While defending reporter Kim. The key message of the Doud columnist, who has been publicly criticizing the Republican Party for decades, was that it was a mistake if Democratic supporters thought that reporters would break the brunt just because the Biden regime was in force.

Eventually, Tandon resigned on the 2nd. Reporter Kim himself wrote this article. WP announced the news of Tandon’s resignation by stating Kim’s byline (reporter’s name).
