Incheon Airport Subsidiary President Confirmed for Sexual Harassment and Corporate Card Misuse... Voluntary Resignation

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Incheon International Airport Corporation announced on the 5th that it confirmed employee sexual harassment and misuse of corporate credit cards by Mr. A, president of its subsidiary Incheon International Airport Security, following an audit.

On the afternoon of the same day, the corporation conveyed the audit results and a request for Mr. A's dismissal to the subsidiary. It is known that Mr. A had already submitted his resignation letter and voluntarily stepped down earlier that morning.

The corporation confirmed that Mr. A violated three regulations related to ethics, accounting, and personnel. Regarding allegations that Mr. A touched female employees' arms, legs, and chest during a workplace inspection in September last year, the corporation judged this as a violation of ethics regulations, stating it constitutes "sexual harassment" under the Gender Equality Employment Act and the Framework Act on Gender Equality.

Mr. A was also found to have violated accounting regulations by spending 348,000 KRW on private meals and holiday fuel, and by processing a meal costing 1,455,000 KRW with a business associate as a meal with employees in the documents.

Furthermore, the corporation pointed out that Mr. A appointed a perpetrator of workplace harassment to a position, calling it an "inappropriate personnel appointment that raises doubts about the will to punish the perpetrator."

Detailed audit results will be posted on the corporation's website on the 6th.
