As it became known that the son of former Deutsche Motors chairman Kwon Oh-soo, a key suspect in the stock price manipulation case, attended the inauguration ceremony of President Yoon Seok-yeol as a VIP, attention is focused on the list of inauguration attendees. However, as the 20th Presidential Transition Committee did not leave records such as the list of inauguration ceremony attendees, it seems difficult to grasp the full list.
On the 25th, Sisa Journal published an article titled “Son of Kwon Oh-soo attends the VIP inauguration ceremony of the president’s inauguration over suspicions of stock manipulation” on the 25th. reported attending. It was an article that pointed out that Kim Kun-hee, the spouse of President Yoon, was being investigated for inappropriate behavior while the prosecution was investigating allegations that she was involved in Deutsche Motors stock manipulation. Sisa Journal reported that Kwon was also invited as a VIP to the inauguration ceremony, but a political official said that his son attended instead.
According to the report, the inauguration ceremony preparation committee under the transition committee said, “It is difficult to confirm because the preparation committee has been disbanded and the people who invited more than 10,000 people are different.”
As a result of checking the media today, the transition committee inauguration preparation committee did not even make a list of inauguration ceremony attendees. Immediately after the inauguration ceremony, MediaToday made a request to relevant ministries such as the Presidential Secretariat, the Presidential Security Service, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and the Presidential Archives to disclose ‘the inauguration ceremony preparation committee sent an invitation letter to the public to attend the inauguration ceremony, and their titles and names should be disclosed’.
Then the decision of ‘absence of information’ came back. “People invited to the 20th presidential inauguration event were selected through the website of the transition committee (April 8 to April 14, 2022),” he said. answered. This means that the list of attendees was not recorded in the first place.
This is not the first time that the inauguration attendees have been controversial. It has been revealed that far-right YouTuber Ahn Jung-kwon, who led a critical protest in front of the home of former President Moon Jae-in, attended the inauguration ceremony. It was also revealed that Ahn’s older sister worked as an employee in the presidential office. On the other hand, there were also media reports comparing Na Kyung-won, a major politician of the People’s Power, who was not invited. Even at that time, the presidential office said it was difficult to identify the list of inauguration ceremonies.
