Hansanghyeok Confirmation Hearing Request Submitted to National Assembly... Assets 1.03 Billion Won

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] On the 1st, the National Assembly received the personnel hearing request for Han Sang-hyeok (59), the nominee for Chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, submitted by President Moon Jae-in.

In the request, President Moon evaluated, "As Chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, he has enhanced the public nature and public interest of broadcasting and telecommunications media and created a fair market environment," adding, "During the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus infection) disaster situation, he quickly responded to fake news to minimize social confusion."

Han, the current Chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, took over the remaining term after former Chairman Lee Hyo-sung resigned in September last year.

If he passes the National Assembly personnel hearing, he will start a new three-year term.

Han reported a total of 1,030,203,000 KRW in assets, including himself, his spouse, and two children.

In real estate, he reported an apartment in Gunpo-si, Gyeonggi-do under his spouse's name (320,000,000 KRW) and two plots of land under his own name (175,981,000 KRW).
