[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] The Seoul Metropolitan Council's Special Committee on the Personnel Hearing for the President Candidate of Seoul Transportation Corporation (Chairman Doho Song·photo) is scheduled to hold a personnel hearing on the morning of the 25th at 10 a.m. in the Transportation Committee meeting room of the Seoul Metropolitan Council for the president candidate of Seoul Transportation Corporation, a Seoul city-affiliated institution (Sangbeom Kim, former Seoul Administrative Deputy Mayor 1).

The Seoul Metropolitan Council resolved the formation of a special committee consisting of 15 members at the 291st extraordinary session (February 21), appointing Doho Song (Democratic Party, Gwanak 1) as chairman, and Sunkyu Park (Democratic Party, Jung-gu 1) and Seungmi Lee (Democratic Party, Seodaemun 3) as vice-chairpersons.

Since the resignation of President Taeho Kim in December last year, Safety Headquarters Director Junggyun Choi has been acting as president of Seoul Transportation Corporation. After verifying the suitability of the president candidate through the special committee’s personnel hearing, the Seoul mayor will appoint the candidate, who is expected to take office as the second president of Seoul Transportation Corporation, a representative public enterprise of Seoul city, which has been vacant for about three months.

Chairman Doho Song stated, “Since the integration in May 2017, Seoul Transportation Corporation has continued to face issues such as safety problems due to aging facilities, chronic operational deficits, and labor-management relations,” adding, “Through the personnel hearing for Sangbeom Kim, the president candidate of Seoul Transportation Corporation, we plan to conduct a thorough verification of management capability and policy execution ability, transparently and objectively assessing whether the candidate is suitable in terms of securing citizen safety, operational efficiency, organizational management, and labor-management harmony for Seoul’s representative public enterprise.”

Furthermore, considering the occurrence of COVID-19, the personnel hearing will minimize the number of attendees from Seoul Transportation Corporation, and the special committee will take measures such as wearing masks and using hand sanitizers to prevent safety issues.

The personnel hearing will be conducted for one day within 10 days from the date requested by the mayor (March 17), and the verified contents through the hearing will be compiled into a personnel hearing progress report according to the ‘Agreement on the Implementation of Personnel Hearings between Seoul Metropolitan Council and Seoul Metropolitan Government’ and submitted to Seoul city within 10 days (excluding holidays) from the date the request was received.
