According to Newsis on the 2nd, the law firm Logos, the legal representative of Lee Young-ae, released the data on the day’Actor Lee Young-ae’s position on the controversy over the controversy over the donation of the National Assembly.
In a statement, Lee Young-ae said, “Lee Young-ae’s husband, Chairman Chung Ho-young, is neither a military contractor nor an arms broker.” It is very normal to work with investments in the operation of telecommunications companies,” he said.
In particular, Lee Young-ae emphasized that Lee Young-ae’s father and father-in-law were veterans, soldiers who went through the Korean War, as part of the rewards for the soldiers.
Furthermore, “Lee Young-ae said that today’s free Korea exists because of the noble sacrifices of soldiers such as his father and father-in-law, and in that arms, the Lee Young-ae family is grateful and lives a happy life.” They said that their support was also part of the blessing of the soldiers who protected the free Republic of Korea.”
Also, “It is said that they supported the military members who have been in the military for decades, so the security field was supported by the opinion that they would have more professionalism than ordinary lawmakers.” There were reports that I didn’t care about, but I will continue to support the military without worrying about it,” he explained.
Finally, “Lee Young-ae said,’I will take the people’s warm love, encouragement, reprimand and advice, and realize my shortcomings as a mother and wife of two children, and live as a model for others with a more humble attitude.’ He added that he was sorry for causing concern to the fans.”
In the last year’s list of donors exceeding 3 million won, released by the Central Election Commission on the 25th of last month, Lee Young-ae donated 5 million won each to Kim Byung-ju, Democratic Party lawmakers, Han Ki-ho, Shin Won-sik, and others. This is known as the highest amount under the Political Fund Act.
Some pointed out that it was inappropriate sponsorship, given that Lee’s husband, Jeong Ho-young, is the owner of a mid-sized defense industry.
Lee Young-ae’s side clarified the controversy, saying, “Lee Young-ae and her husband, Chairman Chung, have nothing to do with the defense industry. More than 10 years have passed since Chairman Chung left his hands from management. His stake is about 0%.”
“Lee Young-ae, a soldier’s family, has a love for soldiers, so he has continued to support the NCO and military families,” he said. The lawmakers who were sponsored by Lee Young-ae also dismissed him, saying that he had nothing to do with Jeong.
Earlier, Lee Young-ae gave a donation of 5 million won to Congressman Jeong Jin-seok of People’s Strength this year following last year. Rep. Jung is the uncle of Lee Young-ae’s husband, Jeong, and Lee Young-ae was on the campaign for his support in the 2012 general election.
