few days ago, our report revealed that the country's medals were shared with each other as if they were customary.

But there is one more thing.

I'm in charge of making medals at the Mint Corporation, and there is a suspicion that people who retired from the Mint Corporation gave their jobs to the companies they attend.

It has been, in fact, a monopoly for over 30 years.

is a metal processing company located in the Dyeing Industrial Complex in Seo-gu, Daegu.



In addition to its flagship precious metals and automobile parts, we have been providing virtually exclusively the grade 3 or lower medals to the Mint Corporation.



The Mint Corporation had been driving the company with a voluntary contract for more than 30 years, and only changed it to a competitive tender three years ago.



However, there is only one bidder every year.



This is because the process of making decorations is not disclosed to the outside.



[Company officials: Because of the specificity of the process and such, it is a security matter, so it cannot be disclosed unless approved by the Mint Corporation.]



Looking at the relationship between this company and the Mint Corporation, there is a growing suspicion that it has been blindfolded and concealed the amount of supplies.



The president, who founded the company in 1986, is a former Mint Corporation retiree.



In addition to the president, it is known that several retirees from the Mint Corporation worked, but the company refused to disclose details.



[(The boss who retired from the Mint Corporation?) That's an old story and it's meaningless at all...

.]



While the Mint Corporation denied allegations of coalescence, it said it would find ways to improve it.



[Mint officials: Because the market is small, there is no facility investment, there is no place to do it, and there is no place to do it.] The



budget for administration related to medals from finding winners to producing and awarding medals is 900 per year. It costs 100 million won.



It is pointed out that in order to properly maintain the dignity of the medal, the practice of taking care of my family must be cut off.
