“If only he cared a little”… Byun Chang-heum remarks on the tragedy of Guui Station’s victims

Suspicion of hiring acquaintances after canceling the transition to an indefinite contract

-It turned out that Byun Chang-heum, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s candidate, made a remark about the’Guui Station accident’ when he was the president of the Seoul Housing and Urban Corporation (SH) in the past, saying, “If (the accident party) only cared about it, nothing could happen.”

According to data obtained by the National Assembly’s Office of the People’s Power, Eun-hye Kim, a member of the National Assembly’s National Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, candidate Byeon made a remark to the effect that the victims were highly responsible for the 2016’Guui Station Accident’ while serving as SH president.

The’Guui Station Accident’, which occurred in May 2016, refers to an accident in which Kim Mo, who was a non-regular employee, was reported to be malfunctioning of a screen door, went to inspection alone, and was caught between the train entering the platform and the screen door.

-At a meeting of the heads of the Construction Safety Business Division held on June 30, one month after the accident, the then-president Byun Chang-heum said, “The employee of the entrusted company died by mistake. In fact, it’s nothing, but if only he (Kim) paid a little attention, it could have been like nothing happened, but that’s all it is.” Rep. Kim said, “The company’s employee was responsible for the human resource disaster caused by the overall system failure. He made a remark that insulted the victims, such as dismissing them as accidentally killed.” “Candidate Byeon is considered a representative’familiarity’ who supported President Moon Jae-in in the 2012 presidential election. He pointed out that such a move of Candidate Chang-Hum Byun’s career as President of SH and Guui Station Kim Gun-related not only differs from the philosophy of state administration that the Moon Jae-in administration advocated, but also contradicts the sentiment of the people.” Suspicion of hiring his acquaintance was also raised. This incident resulted in SH being caught in a case and eventually lost.

Rep. Kim quoted the ruling on the request for confirmation of worker status and exclaimed that “The discriminatory treatment and perception of candidate Byeon toward irregular employees does not meet the standards of fairness and justice, as well as the Moon Jae-in administration’s governmental philosophy.”
