Gwangju Education Superintendent Candidate Lee Jeong-seon: "Fair Verification Needed for Dad-Chance Allegations"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Lee Jeong-seon, a preliminary candidate for Gwangju Superintendent of Education (63), stated on the 19th, "Regarding the controversial allegations of 'Dad's chance' involving the nominee for Minister of Health and Welfare, a thorough and fair verification in line with the spirit of the times must be conducted."

Lee made this statement in a press release on the same day concerning the controversy over the transfer of the children of Jeong Ho-young, the nominee for Minister of Health and Welfare, to the medical school at Kyungpook National University.

He said, "During Jeong's tenure as director of Kyungpook National University Hospital, not one but two of his children transferred to the Kyungpook National University College of Medicine," and emphasized, "President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol must conduct a thorough verification similar to the Cho Kuk case."

Lee urged, "The suspicion of Jeong's children transferring to medical school is an issue that cannot be overlooked as it involves 'Dad's chance' and 'power chance,' and when it comes to educational issues, especially university admissions, a high level of morality and thorough verification are essential."
