[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] A civic group has filed a complaint with the police accusing the son of Kim Jin-guk, Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs at the Blue House, of obstruction of business after he submitted a false resume and stated on his application that he was Kim's son.

The Association of Judicial Exam Preparers (Sajunmo) announced on the 21st that it filed a complaint with the National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters against Kim's son, Mr. Kim, on charges of obstruction of business.

In the complaint, Sajunmo pointed out, "The recruitment work of the victims is a task conducted once a year or on an ad hoc basis, which is protected under the crime of obstruction of business. Academic background is a very important factor when applying for a job, and stating graduation on the resume despite not having graduated constitutes deception."

Regarding the inclusion of his father Kim's position in the self-introduction letter, they argued, "Although he did not ultimately join any of the companies to which he submitted applications, since the victims all contacted Mr. Kim due to acts involving deception or intimidation, it is believed that the victims' recruitment work was realistically obstructed or at least exposed to the risk of obstruction."

Mr. Kim sparked controversy after it was revealed that on a job application submitted to a company, he wrote statements such as "My father is Kim Jin-guk, Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs," and "I will speak well to my father to help realize this company's dreams."
