[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jin-ho] Go Seung-beom, the nominee for Financial Services Commission chairman, stated on the 27th regarding the 'Merge Point incident,' "We will assess the actual situation and check if there are similar cases."

Go, attending the confirmation hearing held by the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee that day, responded this way to a question from Lee Jung-moon, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea.

Go said, "Since Merge Point was an unregistered company according to the Financial Supervisory Service, it seems there were difficulties in grasping the situation. However, once the incident was recognized, we have been responding actively."

He added, "We will ensure proper registration according to the Electronic Financial Transactions Act and closely monitor registered companies to protect users. We will also seek active measures to reduce user damages."
