[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] A member of the online community 'Ilgan Best Storage' (Ilbe) recently passed the Level 7 civil service exam, but past circumstances have emerged revealing inappropriate behaviors such as illegal filming of minors and derogatory remarks against people with disabilities, sparking controversy. It is reported that this member posted sexually harassing comments along with photos of women on 'Ilbe'.

On the 30th, a petition titled "Please prevent the appointment of a Level 7 civil servant who has posted countless sexually harassing and derogatory remarks against people with disabilities on the site abbreviated as 'Ilbe'" was posted on the Blue House National Petition Board. As of 7 PM that day, the petition had received over 28,400 signatures.

The petitioner stated, "The day before, a post certifying the passing of the local Level 7 civil service exam was uploaded on Ilbe. Up to that point, there was no particular problem, but upon investigating the past posts of member A who uploaded the certification post, I discovered serious issues."

He claimed, "(A) viewed numerous unspecified minor female students solely as sexual objects, posted illegally filmed photos of female students on the street, and shamelessly wrote sexually harassing posts."

He continued, "(A) approached many minor female students, took them to motels or other lodging facilities to have sexual relations, and posted more than five posts certifying these acts through illegal filming," adding, "There was even a shocking post claiming that (A) made them wear school uniforms and had sexual relations."

The petitioner also revealed that A did not hesitate to make derogatory remarks against people with disabilities. The petitioner explained, "(A) secretly filmed a person with dwarfism walking on the street from behind, posted the photo on 'Ilbe', mocked them by calling them 'Ant-Man', and laughed at them," adding, "It seemed that (A) felt no remorse for this behavior."

Furthermore, he said, "(A) not only took photos of minor females but also brought photos of adult women and posted many sexually harassing comments such as 'I want to have sexual relations with this woman,'" emphasizing, "It is baffling how such a person could have ultimately passed the local Level 7 civil service exam."

Finally, the petitioner said, "It is very hard to accept and infuriating that someone with such a flawed character was not filtered out during the interview and was ultimately appointed," adding, "This also undermines the credibility of the interview process."

Meanwhile, Article 14 (Paragraph 1-5) of the Local Public Officials Appointment Decree states, "If a newly appointed candidate is recognized as having seriously damaged their dignity as a candidate, making it difficult to perform duties as a public official, they shall lose their qualification."
