POSCO Chairman Jeong-woo Choi, who withdrew the notice of failure to attend the hearing and showed up at the industrial accident hearing, lowered his head again.
In questioning about the causes of POSCO’s subsequent industrial accidents, Chairman Choi cited POSCO’s aging facilities and lack of supervision efforts.
POSCO Chairman Jeong-woo Choi, who served as a witness on behalf of POSCO at a hearing on industrial accidents held at the conference hall of the National Assembly’s Environmental Labor Committee on the 22nd, bowed his head as a sign of apology for many industrial accidents shortly after the interrogation by Congressman Kim Woong.
Rep. Kim Woong, who first questioned Chairman Choi, mentioned the issue of former Chairman Choi’s low back pain non-attendance issue.

Rep. Kim Woong said, “In the case of a lumbar sprain or a cervical sprain written on the medical certificate that you submitted, it is mainly paid by insurance scammers.”
Rep. Kim repeatedly commented on Chairman Choi’s recent announcement of safety measures, but criticized, “Even though you made such a desperate announcement, industrial accidents are not decreasing.”
Rep. Kim then asked, “What do you think, even though there were no (industrial accidents) deaths in 2017 before the chairman took office?”, but Chairman Choi did not give any other answers.
Immediately after Kim Woong’s interrogation was over, Chairman Choi bowed his head to the effect that he would apologize for the successive industrial accidents.
In addition, Democratic Party lawmaker Yoon Mi-hyang also made the subject of questioning as Chairman Choi.
When asked about the cause of Rep. Yoon’s industrial accident, Chairman Choi replied, “Because our company has many facilities that are more than 50 years old and our efforts to supervise safety management are insufficient.”
In addition, Assemblyman Yoon raised the level of criticism, saying, “Because the chairman is a financial expert, he does not know the site at all.
In addition, to the interrogation of Rep. Deok-Hum Park and Lee Ja-Ia Lim, Chairman Jeong-Woo Choi gave a fundamental answer, saying, “We will review and try to reflect it as much as possible.”
