[Public Officials' Asset Disclosure] Prime Minister Kim Reports 1.51 Billion KRW in Assets... National Assembly Secretariat Still '3-Home Owner'

[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Son Seon-hee] Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum reported assets worth 1.51 billion KRW. This is about 33 million KRW less than the assets he declared when he took office in May last year.

According to the '2022 Regular Asset Change Report' disclosed by the Government Ethics Committee in the official gazette on the 31st, Prime Minister Kim reported assets including the leasehold right of an apartment in Gongdeok-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, owned by his spouse (660 million KRW), and land such as forest land in Ganghwa-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi Province (195 million KRW). He sold the apartment located in Suseong-gu, Daegu (394 million KRW) that he had declared at the time of his inauguration.

The total deposits held by Prime Minister Kim, his spouse, and their third daughter amount to 730 million KRW, which is about 350 million KRW more than the previously declared amount (369 million KRW). This increase is explained by the profit from selling the Daegu apartment and the increase in deposits.

Gu Yoon-cheol, Minister of the Office for Government Policy Coordination, reported assets worth 4.973 billion KRW, an increase of 142 million KRW from last year. Minister Gu declared an apartment in Gaepo-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, under his spouse's name (1.8 billion KRW), and a leasehold right of a complex building in Singongdeok-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, under his own name (1.15 billion KRW). The lease deposit for the Singongdeok-dong leasehold, which was 850 million KRW, rose by 300 million KRW in just one year, reflecting the rise in lease prices.

He sold a complex building (residential + commercial) in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province, previously owned by his spouse, reducing assets by 852 million KRW. Due to the profit from the housing sale, deposits increased from 1.5 billion KRW to 1.917 billion KRW.

Yoon Chang-ryeol, First Deputy Minister, reported total assets of 2.32 billion KRW. He declared an apartment in Banggok-dong, Sejong City, owned by himself (768 million KRW), and a leasehold right of Tower Palace in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, owned by his spouse (1.6 billion KRW). The value of the Sejong City apartment rose by 315 million KRW in one year.

Yoon Sung-wook, Second Deputy Minister, reported assets worth 868 million KRW, including a leasehold right of an apartment in Suji-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi Province (520 million KRW).

Meanwhile, although the Moon Jae-in administration strongly recommended 'one household, one house' for high-ranking officials, multi-home ownership persisted until the end of the term. Jang Sang-yoon, Director of the Social Coordination Office at the Office for Government Policy Coordination, declared three apartments in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, and Paju and Ilsan in Gyeonggi Province, making him a three-home owner. Two years ago, he submitted a statement of intent to dispose of two of his homes but did not sell them. Director Jang reported real estate assets worth 1.697 billion KRW, which increased by 389 million KRW in one year.

Kim Hyuk-soo, Director of the Anti-Terrorism Center, also reported owning two homes: an apartment in Sujeong-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province, jointly owned with his spouse (1.08 billion KRW), and an apartment in Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province, under his spouse's name (498 million KRW).
