The assets of Kim Dong-yeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, and Lim Tae-hee, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, as of the end of last year, were recorded at 3,530,620,000 KRW and 4,695,160,000 KRW, respectively.


According to the asset declaration details announced by the Public Officials Ethics Committee on the 28th, Governor Kim reported buildings (including jeonse lease rights) worth 2,696,000,000 KRW, deposits of 1,040,600,000 KRW, and debts of 210,000,000 KRW. This is a decrease of 360,480,000 KRW compared to the declared amount of 3,891,100,000 KRW at the asset disclosure in September last year.


Governor Kim explained that the decrease in deposits was due to an increase in jeonse deposits, and that his mother's assets (400,000,000 KRW) were excluded because he refused to disclose them citing reasons of supporting others.
