<Anchor> A
sponsor with more than 3 million won is classified as a large sponsor, and the maximum limit is 5 million won.
However, it was confirmed that the executives of the Ssangbangbang and Sungjeong group paid 5 million won each to a specific candidate.
The situation in which political funds were split and sent was caught.
Next is reporter Jeong Ban-seok.

This is the list of high-paying supporters of Park Hyung-joon, the People's Strength candidate, in the by-election of last year's April 7 Busan mayor.
Kim Seong-tae, former chairman of Ssangbang-Bul Group, and Bang-mo, CEO of Kwanglim, and Jang-mo, CEO of IOK Company paid 5 million won each.
The payment date is the same as March 11th.
Chairman Bae Sang-yoon, who is known for his close business relationship with Chairman Kim Seong-tae, also donated 5 million won a day earlier.
The name Kim Seong-tae appears on the list of high-cost supporters of Candidate Hyung-jun Park ahead of the local election on June 1 this year.
This time his date of birth, address and occupation are blank.
On May 19th, he is supposed to pay 5 million won.
However, “office worker” Mo Park, who paid 5 million won on the same day, has the same date of birth as Park Mo, a former director of SsangBall and a director of Good People Invest, where former Chairman Kim Seong-Tae is a major shareholder.
[Park Mo's address on the document. Neighbors: The younger brother (house) of Chairman Kim Seong-tae's wife.
Park OO is not here.]
Kim, who is known to have gone abroad at the end of May to avoid the prosecution's investigation, has not been contacted.
We requested confirmation from Ssang Bul-Bol about director Park Mo.
[Ssangbool official: (Park OO director?) No, don't talk like that.
Do not come.
Please don't come.]
Mayor Park Hyung-joon said, "I know that I sponsored Kim Seong-tae in the past, and I don't know why."
The circumstance that the executives of affiliates supported the split is also evident in Kim Tae-heum, a candidate for the People's Power Chungnam Governor during the June 1 local elections.
On May 17th, Hyung Nam-soon, chairman of Seongjeong-eui, who took over Eastar Jet, and Chung-mo, director of Baekje Country Club, an affiliated company, and Choi, the son-in-law of Chairman Hyung and registered as a director of Eastar Jet paid 5 million won each.
A day later, the chairman's son, his brother Seong-jeong Mo, also sponsored 5 million won.
All occupations were marked as 'self-employed' or 'office worker'.
[Chairman Nam-soon Hyung/Chairman Sung-jeong: (Let’s share it, because it can be seen like this….) That’s a misunderstanding.
Each and every one of them has a desire to help him a little...

Seongjeong-eun is a construction company headquartered in Buyeo, Chungcheongnam-do, and its affiliate, Daeguk Construction Industry, is carrying out housing construction ordered by Chungnam Development Corporation.
[Chairman Nam-soon Hyung/Chairman Sung-jeong: This is the construction I ordered two years ago.
The construction has nothing to do with the current governor.]
The current Political Funds Act prohibits donations from corporations and organizations to prevent collusion with politics and business, and places restrictions on the limit of sponsorship.
[Jin-Man Cho/Professor, Department of Political Science and International Relations, Duksung Women's University: I think that large donations will be possible and split sponsorship will be improved only when donations are clearly written and provided in a form that can be accessed and analyzed at any time as in foreign countries.]
