Prime Minister Candidate Han Deok-soo, at a personnel hearing held at the National Assembly today (2nd), pointed out that 'Isn't the compensation I received during my tenure as an advisor to Kim & Chang a lot?' Once again, I am sorry,” he said.
One candidate stated in a written response that he received a total of 1,953.2 million won to a question from hearing members about the amount of compensation he received while working as an advisor to Kim & Chang after resigning from his office.
However, while one candidate stated that he was apologetic, he added that he was proud that he had faithfully paid taxes on the income he earned while working for Kim & Chang, thereby contributing to the public interest.
