It was revealed that the executive director of Samsung Electronics registered as an access reporter at the National Assembly and has been to the National Assembly for several years.
As it seemed that the vice president of Samsung Electronics would be called as a witness in this national audit, he continued to visit the office of the lawmaker, and in the process, it was revealed that he had acted as a reporter.

Lee Mo, executive director of Samsung Electronics, was a former Saenuri party official and has worked at Samsung since 2016.
He performed the so-called rental service to inform the company's position to the government and government offices, but after joining Samsung, he registered as an Internet media reporter in the National Assembly, and it turned out that he has been in and out of the National Assembly until recently.
This fact came to light when Rep. Ryu Ho-jeong of Justice Dang made a request for Samsung Electronics' vice president as a witness to the government, and Lee visited the office from time to time.

seems to have been pretending to be a journalist in order to freely enter the National Assembly. He said he apologized for the problem and explained that he would prevent this from happening again.
Rep. Ryu Ho-jung planned to ask the government officials for a report that Samsung Electronics stole the technology to attach a protective film to a smartphone LCD developed by a small and medium-sized business and handed it over to another company.
Samsung Electronics countered that it was a one-sided argument and that there was no violation of the law.
