[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Yoon Jong-won, President of IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, confirmed that it is true that the bank received a commission of about 6.3 billion KRW related to its stake in Seongnam Utddeul.


On the 15th, during the National Assembly inspection by the Political Affairs Committee, Yoon Doo-hyun, a member of the People Power Party, asked whether IBK received a commission from Seongnam Utddeul under the name of loan arrangement and participation. President Yoon answered that they did receive it.


Rep. Yoon pointed out that a significant portion of the commission provided to IBK is omitted in the financial statements of Seongnam Utddeul's audit report and confirmed with President Yoon whether the commission was indeed received.
