In September 2014, a media report came out that a professor at Seoul National University Law School had sexually harassed remarks. 



It is said that she used inappropriate words, such as criticizing her students' appearance as high or low. 



The person in the controversy is Seoul National University professor Song Ok-ryeol, who was nominated as the candidate for the Fair Trade Commission today (4th). 



Candidate Song also worked as a lawyer at Kim & Chang Law Firm after passing the judicial, administrative, and foreign affairs examinations as a classmate of President Yoon Seok-yeol's Judicial Research and Training Institute. 



When the previous media reports were re-examined and controversy arose, the presidential office said that it had confirmed the past controversies during the personnel verification process, and that candidate Song apologized to the attendees at the time and took into account the fact that there was no separate disposition from the school. 



Candidate Song once again issued a position of deep apology. 



The opposition party criticized it as another poor person formed by trying to fill the government with an acquaintance of the president. 



[Cho Oh-seop / Democratic Party Spokesperson: The lack of personnel verification is too serious to say that personnel verification was not performed properly because it was the motive of the President's Judicial Research and Training Institute.] 



The candidate for the Fair Trade Commission Chairman was selected 56 days after the new government was inaugurated. 



There are many points out that it is questionable whether verification that meets the public's eye level was performed concurrently with ability.
