– Candidate Hwang-hee, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said that when the suspicion of preferential privileges during the military service of the son of former Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae was controversial last year, “expression was excessive” in relation to the expression of the on-call soldier who raised the suspicion as a’alone criminal’.
Candidate Hwang said in a written questionnaire answer from Congressman Seung-soo Kim, who asked the purpose of the remarks of the’single criminal’ on the 7th, “It is a situation where groundless political offensives are taking place using the statement of a soldier on duty. It was an excessive expression,” he expressed regret.
Candidate Hwang said in a press conference with his Facebook in September last year, “I burned the whole mountain by playing with fire. It cannot be considered a single criminal. “We will have to thoroughly investigate the accomplices who have intervened in this process.” At this time, the real name of the on-call soldier A was mentioned.
When the controversy became controversial, Hwang clarified that the next day, “the fact that the real name was revealed to the media had already revealed the current sergeant’s face and name, and (the expression of the sole criminal) thought that there would be some intended force behind it.” Later, when it was included in the revised list, the controversial article was deleted from Facebook.
Candidate Hwang also admitted that in his response, he left out the tuition fees for his children in 2019 during the year-end settlement. Candidate Hwang’s daughter entered an autonomous private high school in Seoul in March 2019, dropped out after four months, and is currently attending a foreign high school. He explained, “I think it was omitted due to a simple mistake during the year-end settlement.”
The personnel hearing for Candidate Hwang will be held at the Yeouido National Assembly in Seoul on the 9th.
