[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon, Incheon=Reporter Lee Dongwoo] Incheon International Airport Corporation has filed a criminal complaint with the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency against Kim Youngjae, CEO of Sky72 Golf & Resort and the existing operator of Sky72 Golf Club located on Yeongjongdo Island, Incheon, for obstruction of business and other charges. The head of the relevant administrative department in Incheon Metropolitan City was also sued for dereliction of duty.

On the 1st, Kim Kyungwook, President of Incheon Airport Corporation, issued a statement titled "President’s Position on the Suspension of Illegal Operations at Sky72" at Sky72 Golf Course, where partial water supply restrictions have been implemented, stating, "The land occupied by Sky72 is an asset of Incheon Airport and the property of the people, and the situation where public interest is infringed upon for private gain must be corrected."

President Kim bowed his head in apology for causing public concern due to the unauthorized occupation issue of Sky72 Golf Course amid the many difficulties caused by COVID-19. However, he also asked for understanding, saying, "I believe it is not the proper duty of the head of a public institution to overlook the fact that the operator, whose contract period has ended, is recklessly occupying public assets without permission."

President Kim stated, "We have filed a criminal complaint with the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency against Kim Youngjae, CEO of Sky72, for obstruction of business and other charges for infringing on the property rights of the people and obstructing fair business execution. We have also filed a complaint with the Incheon District Prosecutors’ Office against the head of the Incheon City department for dereliction of duty for taking no action to protect the property rights of companies located in Incheon that pay property taxes," urging the judicial authorities to restore the broken legal order through strict investigation.

Regarding the partial water supply restrictions imposed on Sky72 Golf Course starting today, President Kim explained, "The corporation has no obligation to provide convenience for Sky72’s illegal and unfair actions," adding, "We will stop supplying the secondary water that the corporation had been providing at a low cost." He further stated, "Depending on the situation, we will gradually expand the suspension of facility provisions such as electricity and water supply."

President Kim added, "This measure is essential to restore the public’s assets from the operator’s unauthorized occupation and to rectify the disrupted contractual order," and concluded, "We will continue to respond strictly and firmly going forward."
