[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Food columnist Hwang Kyo-ik resigned from the position of candidate for the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization on the 20th. It has been eight days since the first candidate appointment news was announced on the 13th.


On the same day, Hwang stated through Facebook, "I will give up the position of candidate for the president of the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization," adding, "It is impossible to work as the president of the organization while engaging in futile debates," explaining his resignation.


He said, "There were things I wanted to do if I became the president of the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization. I was excited to work," but added, "However, an environment where that is impossible has been created. It is due to the commotion caused by politicians in the central government."



He continued, "It seems that the employees of the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization have already suffered a lot," expressing regret, "I do not want to cause trouble."
