When President Yoon Seok-yeol dismissed the chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, Han Sang-hyeok, who was still in office, and appointed former Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office Kim Hoo-gon as his successor, critics in the press came out.
In an online article on the 12th, E-Daily said, “Former Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office Kim Ho-gon (Robax’s representative lawyer) is rapidly emerging as the successor to Han Sang-hyuk as chairman of the Korea Communications Commission.” I was dispatched as an advisor and worked.” As the reason for the early suspension, E-Daily said, “Chairman Han was seized and searched for intentionally giving low scores in the process of reviewing the re-approval of TV Chosun, a general programming channel. guessed that
In addition, Edaily said, “In addition to lawyer Kim Hoo-gon, the people named are Dong-gwan Lee, special adviser to the President for foreign cooperation, and professor Seong Dong-gyu, Chung-Ang University, former director of the Yeouido Research Institute.” It goes up,” he wrote.
Weekly Chosun also reported this in an online article on the afternoon of the 13th, saying, “Chairman Han Sang-hyeok, who is currently the head of the Korea Communications Commission, is being raised the possibility of an early suspension of work or an impeachment prosecution.”
As such reports of Hamapyeong came out one after another, the Democratic Party also raised its voice to be wary of the theory that the former prosecutor was the chairman of the Korea Communications Commission every day. At the Supreme Council meeting on the 15th, Gyeong-tae Jang, a member of the Democratic Party, said, “A former prosecutor, even the head of the broadcasting communication committee, is being discussed as a strong candidate.” It is a disgusting personnel philosophy that has no work for the people, neither notice nor conscience.”
Rep. Jang said, “Even if he was a reporter, the MB he appointed was better,” and he said, “If there is no prosecutor, the government will Is it a ‘regime to maintain prosecutors’ that cannot be maintained?” Rep. Jang said, “Is the dispatch a double major?” regarding the history of lawyer Kim Hoo-gon, who is mentioned as a leading candidate, as a prosecutor dispatched to the Korea Communications Commission for about two years. There are also suspicions that he offered a deal.”
Rep. Chang criticized, “If former prosecutor Kim Hoo-gon is appointed as the chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, the National Assembly’s personnel hearing will be a time to see the prosecutor’s bare face,” and criticized, “Minister Han Dong-hoon must take responsibility for his incompetence in personnel verification.”
Lim Oh-gyeong, spokesperson of the Democratic Party, also said at a briefing at the National Assembly Communications Officer on the 14th, “President Yoon Seok-yeol has no one but prosecutors.” Is it?” he asked.
Spokesman Lim said, “It is shocking that prosecutors will appoint even the Korea Communications Commission, which requires independence, as it is not enough to fill key positions in the presidential office and government as well as major affiliated organizations with prosecutors.” I can’t,” he pointed out. He criticized, “I am worried that the chief cook in the presidential office will be called by the prosecutor’s office,” and “In President Yoon’s eyes, if he is not a prosecutor, he is not a talented person.” He added, “I will not allow the Republic of Korea to become a prosecution republic for prosecutors only.”
