Democratic Party lawmaker Ko Min-jung revised the post after referring to her alma mater Kyunghee University Suwon campus as a 'branch school'.
Rep. Ko said on Facebook on the 13th, announcing the proposal of the 'Blind Recruitment Act', saying, "I have also joined KBS through a blind test, so I understand the importance of legislation more than anyone else."
Rep. Ko said, "I request the joint initiative of my fellow lawmakers so that the second and third Ko Min-jung will be born," he said.
Rep. Koh said, "Under the Moon Jae-in administration, public institutions have been conducting blind tests and their effectiveness has been proven, but the law is not enacted, so I am always anxious." We made a bill of law,” he said.
"A lot of lawmakers have been willing to join the joint initiative and it's ongoing," he said. "Of course, this bill is a first step, because it has to be spread not only to public institutions but also to private companies."
He added, "We will solidify the ongoing blind recruitment of public institutions and prepare plans to spread it to private companies."
Assemblyman Koh originally said in this article, "I graduated from Kyunghee University's Suwon Campus, which was a branch school at the time, but thanks to this system, I came to this position."
This seems to be due to a series of protests against the expression 'branch school' in comments and online communities.
One Facebook user criticized Koh's post, saying, "Kyunghee University's Suwon campus (now the international campus) is not a branch school. Don't insult your alma mater."
In some online communities and article comments, comments such as "Why are you seriously harming alumni?" and "It's funny to say something like that in a public place because the campus is dualized" was raised one after another.
