There is controversy that Governor Won Hee-ryong appointed former deputy mayor of Seogwipo City as the next mayor of Seogwipo, Kim Tae-yeop, who had a drunk driving accident three months ago.

The Jeju National Headquarters of the National Civil Service Workers Union issued a statement today (8th) and criticized it as "the extreme behavior of arrogance that displaces the efforts of public officials in the province that have been trying to build a clean public society, and disregarding the sentiment of the people."

In addition, in response to the social climate of preliminary murder, drinking alcohol driving has been proclaiming the principle of zero tolerance, regardless of the status of public officials.

In particular, the previous day, Seogwipo City Branch said that it was "unfortunate, but the right person for the next lane" and "it is not the official view of the government officials' union." 
Jeju Residents' Solidarity also issued a statement on the 8th and said, "The abuse of the governor's human rights and neglect of the negative public opinion." I pointed out.

Kim Jong-ja was arrested for drunk driving on March 26 and was ordered by the court to impose a fine of 8 million won. At that time, Kim Jung-ja was known to have hit a curb on the road with a parking alcohol level of 0.08% or higher, which is a license revoked level, during the parking process after surrogate driving.
