[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Lee Jae-woong, CEO of Socar, strongly criticized the government on the 5th, saying, "They must take responsibility for the thousands of drivers who have lost their jobs."

On that day, Lee stated on his Facebook, "It seems that the thousands of people who risked daily infection threats to take responsibility for others' mobility and make a living were invisible."

He continued, "Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Hyun-mi and the government must take responsibility for the tears of young people working in innovative companies and the thousands of drivers who lost their jobs due to policies they led."

He also expressed, "In this severe economic crisis, I felt even more sorry because people who were forced into a situation where they had to worry about their livelihood due to government legislation comforted me instead," adding, "If it weren't for the economic crisis, things might have been better; I don't know why it had to be at this time."

Additionally, he posted, "I received a message from Tada drivers the day before. They said they support me until the end. They understand that such things happen when doing business in Korea. They told me not to apologize."
