[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Kim Ki-hyun, floor leader of the People Power Party, strongly criticized on the 5th, saying, "The ‘Job Situation Board’ that President Moon Jae-in said he would keep in the Blue House office was actually a ‘Parachute Situation Board.’"

On the same day, Kim posted on his Facebook, stating, "The parachute patronage appointments of the Moon Jae-in administration are eating away at the country," and pointed out, "This selfish administration, which shamelessly fills only its own pockets, is exposing its true colors and flaunting the image of the ultimate parachute ‘endgame’ administration."

He said, "Hwang Hyun-seon, a former administrative officer of the Blue House Civil Affairs Office with no financial background, was appointed as the head of Korea Growth Investment Corporation, which manages funds worth 20 trillion won. Former senior administrative officer Cheon Kyung-deuk became the standing auditor of the Korea Financial Telecommunications and Clearings Institute, former administrative officer Kang Hee-jung moved to the Korea Elevator Safety Agency as a director, former administrative officer Noh Jeong-yoon became a non-standing director of the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation, former senior administrative officer Hong Hee-kyung was appointed head of the Korea Culture Information Service Agency, and former administrative officer Han Jeong-won moved to Meritz Financial Group as head of brand strategy," adding, "According to an analysis by the Financial and Economic Research Institute, among the 138 newly appointed or reappointed financial executives until the end of last year since the launch of the Moon administration, 32% were filled by pro-government ‘camcoders’ (Camp, Code, Democratic Party), with 47% in financial public enterprises and 19% in the banking sector."

He continued, "Although President Moon, who frequently spoke of ‘fairness and justice,’ promised early in his term that ‘there would be no parachute or patronage appointments in public enterprises,’ this too was fake news," and said, "The Blue House and the ruling party have become factories producing fake news. It is no different from staging a ‘fraud’ against the sovereign people."

Kim emphasized, "I will reveal everything in this national audit," and added, "Through an unreserved and thorough investigation of ‘privileges and unfair practices,’ we will root out the hotbed of corruption and wrongdoing, and restore the jobs of the sovereign citizens that were taken away to their rightful place."
