[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Kang Seong-tae, known as the so-called 'God of Studying,' raised his voice in criticism regarding the controversy over the 5 billion KRW retirement pay of the son of independent lawmaker Kwak Sang-do, saying, "I want to know the secret."

On the 12th, Kang Seong-tae uploaded a video titled "5 Billion KRW Retirement Pay after 6 Years of Work at Age 25" on his YouTube channel, opening with, "I barely have time to talk about pure studying, but I will briefly talk about this."

He indirectly criticized the controversy over the retirement pay of lawmaker Kwak's son, saying, "There is someone who worked for 6 years and resigned as an assistant manager. But the retirement pay is 5 billion KRW. I wonder how well they worked at the company."

Kang said, "It might be hard to grasp how big 5 billion KRW is," and added, "A few days ago, the Nobel Prize winners were announced. The Nobel Prize money awarded to those who have contributed the most to the progress of humanity worldwide is 1.3 billion KRW." He explained, "I have published many English reference books. I ranked first in English vocabulary, English grammar, and English reading comprehension, and even received a commendation from the National Tax Service, but even combined, my income does not come close to that amount."

He then confessed that although he received many requests to invite lawmaker Kwak's son, it was not easy to arrange an appearance.

He went on to mention Park Seong-min, the Blue House Youth Secretary, saying, "There was someone who miraculously passed the Grade 1 civil servant exam without any special experience. Since he is the Youth Secretary, I asked him to appear (in the video) for the youth, but there has been no contact. It is really not easy to arrange." In June, Secretary Park was hired as a youth secretary at the age of 25, sparking controversy over preferential hiring.

Kang sarcastically said, "(Both lawmaker Kwak's son and Secretary Park) got jobs at 25, became Grade 1 civil servants at 25, and received nearly 5 billion KRW upon resignation. Looking at this alone, this is the best country for young people to live in. So why is the birth rate falling?"

Meanwhile, in August 2019, Kang Seong-tae uploaded a video titled "Since When Did South Korea Become a Caste Society?" on his YouTube channel, criticizing the allegations of unfair admission involving the daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk. On June 23, he also mentioned the preferential hiring controversy of Secretary Park in a video titled "How a 25-Year-Old College Student Passes the Blue House Grade 1 Civil Servant Exam."

In response, some ruling party supporters and netizens criticized Kang Seong-tae for not expressing his position regarding the recent controversy over lawmaker Kwak's son's retirement pay, accusing him of "selective outrage."
