Shin Kyung-min: "I heard Gyeonggi-do Public Union will talk about unfair hiring"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Shin Kyung-min, former Democratic Party lawmaker and standing vice chairman of Lee Nak-yeon's camp, said on the 17th, "I heard that the Gyeonggi-do public labor union plans to talk about the realities of unfair hiring corruption within today." The controversy over personnel appointments had arisen internally due to the appointment of food columnist Hwang Kyo-ik as president of the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, and it is claimed that this will be expressed externally.

Former lawmaker Shin appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' that day and said, "There are so many unfair hiring corruptions in the Gyeonggi Provincial Government that it could be called the 'Provincial Government Camp.' Yesterday, some of these issues were circulated through a site called Blind," adding, "If you read it, there are posts saying 'Hwang Kyo-ik is not the only one involved in unfair hiring corruption.' Various personnel matters at the provincial government were discussed, and from what I heard, including this person, the Gyeonggi-do public labor union plans to talk about the realities of unfair hiring corruption within today."

He continued, "Such talks have come to us, and we are currently verifying the facts," and claimed, "A significant number of people who recently joined the camp had worked at public institutions under Gyeonggi Province, and there are many specific personnel involved."

He added, "There has been a lot of suspicion about where these personnel came from and where they went, and what the so-called 'Provincial Government Camp' actually is. This suspicion surfaced yesterday through the site called Blind."

Former lawmaker Shin said, "It appears that the public labor union has confirmed this information. So, there have been many talks about discussing unfair hiring corruption. There are rumors that this may be revealed within today."

He strongly criticized Hwang's appointment as president. Shin said, "Considering what this person has done so far, he seems more suited for the Tokyo or Osaka Tourism Organization in Japan," adding, "He highly praises Japanese food and often says that Korean food is just a derivative or a copy of it. With such perceptions, how could he possibly run a tourism organization, especially the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, or properly manage gourmet restaurants? I have serious doubts."

He continued, "So far, I only recall his academic connections and defending and excusing abusive language," and said, "I only thought of him as famous, but I did not consider how many people find him unpleasant, and I fell short in that regard."
