Additional suspicions were raised regarding Kim Haeng, candidate for Minister of Gender Equality and Family.
The Democratic Party requested an explanation, saying there was something suspicious about stocks owned by the daughter of candidate Kim Haeng.
Candidate Kim immediately refuted the claim.
The President’s Office is contemplating whether to appoint him or not.
This is reporter Shin Ji-hye.

Kim Haeng, a candidate for Minister of Gender Equality and Family, did not disclose during his personnel hearing how many shares his daughter owned in ‘Social News’, a company of which he is vice chairman.
[장경태/더불어민주당 의원/5일 : “따님의 주식거래 내역 현황, 지분구조 밝혀주시라고요. 직계존비속이잖아요.”]
[김행/여성가족부 장관 후보자/5일 : “저도 그것을 지금 딸한테 설득하고 있는데 딸이 원하지 않습니다.”]
The Democratic Party said today (11th) that candidate Kim’s daughter was confirmed as the second largest shareholder of ‘Social News’, and that there was something suspicious.
The valuation of the stocks held increased 14 times to more than 5 billion won since the purchase in 2019, and they asked to explain the source of funds and the transaction process.
[장경태/더불어민주당 의원 : “사실상 딸을 통해 부당한 재산 은닉, 재산 상속이라는 합리적 의심이 들 수밖에 없습니다.”]
Candidate Kim immediately refuted the claim.
When the company was on the verge of going out of business, my daughter said that she had purchased stocks with deposit money, and that if she had bought the shares knowing that the value of the company would rise, she was a fortune teller.
This is an explanation that it is not concealment or inheritance of property.
Despite the ensuing controversy, the President’s Office remains silent.
The candidates who were nominated together received letters of appointment today, but they are refraining from saying anything about whether candidate Kim will be appointed, saying they will wait and see the situation at the National Assembly.
In the end, some in the ruling party even talked about voluntarily resigning.
[이용호/국민의힘 의원/어제/SBS 라디오 ‘김태현의 정치쇼’ : “대통령의 부담을 덜어주는 것도 하나의 길일 수는 있다. 그런 것까지 포함해서 김행 후보자가 판단하리라고 생각합니다.”]
Forcing an appointment amid controversy could be a political burden.
There are many observations that the results of the Gangseo-gu District Office election in Seoul, along with the situation at the National Assembly and public opinion, will affect whether or not to be appointed.
