[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] It was reported on the 8th that the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC) sent two official letters to the Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI) requesting the confirmation of the investigation schedule for Chairman Jeon Hyun-hee. The ACRC is currently undergoing a special audit by the BAI.

According to the ACRC, they sent two official letters to the BAI on the 26th of last month and the 5th of this month titled "Request for Notification of Investigation Schedule Related to BAI On-site Audit." The main content was to "confirm and inform the investigation schedule for Chairman Jeon."

Chairman Jeon has defined this audit as a "targeted audit" pressuring her resignation, appointed during the previous Moon Jae-in administration. She has repeatedly stated, "The BAI should directly investigate me, the audit target." On the day, she wrote on Facebook, "Counterattack with official letter dispatch!"

The BAI extended the ACRC on-site audit from August 1 to 19 by two weeks, continuing until the 2nd of last month. They conducted another extension of the on-site audit from the 14th to the 29th of last month. Investigations were conducted on ACRC employees, including department heads and deputy chairpersons, but Chairman Jeon herself was not directly investigated.

Regarding this, Chairman Jeon criticized at a press conference on the 21st of last month, saying, "The BAI is harassing and pressuring only the staff around the targeted chairman while not investigating the actual target."

Meanwhile, even after the on-site audit ended on the 29th of last month, the BAI continues the audit of the ACRC by additionally investigating some current and former ACRC employees.
