[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] An LH employee who earned extra money by working as a land auction instructor on a paid internet site has been dismissed.

On the 11th, LH held a disciplinary committee meeting and announced the dismissal of Mr. Oh, who belonged to the Uijeongbu Project Team of the Seoul Regional Headquarters.

Mr. Oh was caught while working as a land auction and public auction instructor on a paid lecture site related to real estate investment and had been under internal investigation since the end of January.

LH explained that through data investigation and face-to-face interviews with the person involved, they confirmed Mr. Oh's misconduct, including receiving compensation through profit-making activities and violating restrictions on concurrent positions, and proceeded with disciplinary procedures.

Previously, Mr. Oh promoted himself as the "No. 1 land instructor in the Republic of Korea" and the "top land auction and public auction instructor (No. 1 in sales)," hiding his real name online and using a pen name.

The "Basic Land Class" led by Mr. Oh was a five-month course, with tuition fees reaching 230,000 won.

LH strictly prohibits concurrent employment such as other profit-making activities outside of work according to its regulations.

LH stated, "Employees who engage in misconduct that is not in line with the duties of public officials will be thoroughly investigated and punished without leniency according to the principle of zero tolerance."
