[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Controversy has arisen after it was revealed that an employee knelt down and held an umbrella for Deputy Minister of Justice Kang Seong-guk when it started raining during his briefing.


This incident occurred on the morning of the 27th at the National Human Resources Development Institute for Public Officials in Jincheon, Chungbuk, while Deputy Minister Kang was giving a briefing related to the initial settlement support for special entrants from Afghanistan.



Yoo Seung-min, a former lawmaker and a presidential primary candidate of the People Power Party, posted the photo on his Facebook with the title "All are public servants of the same people," writing, "Isn't that employee also a public official receiving a salary from taxes?" and added, "This is not the Joseon Dynasty; Deputy Minister, you should reflect on this."
