<Anchor> The



government has decided to dismiss Incheon International Airport Corporation's president Koo Bon-hwan.

This is the reason that President Koo's personal misconduct has been confirmed, and some interpretations say that it is to overcome the incident of irregular workers at Incheon Airport.

President Koo is strongly opposed.



This is Han Se-hyun.



<Reporter> It



has been confirmed that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, which has been auditing Incheon Airport since last June, suggested the dismissal of President Koo Bon-hwan to the Ministry of Strategy and Finance.



It is known that the problem was the fact that the company used a corporate card at a restaurant near his home in Anyang City, Gyeonggi-do after violating the guidelines to work on-site in preparation for a typhoon in October last year, and the reason for dismissing a team leader level employee earlier this year.



[Incheon Airport Corporation official: (at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) Inspector's office) Call and ask questions, this is a simple content...

(The surveyed employees) shook their heads.

It was too hard.]



President Koo rebelled, saying it was unfair.



What was pointed out by the audit was that it has not been clarified last year or that it is not a violation of regulations.



[Bon-Hwan Koo/President of Incheon Airport Corporation: A year ago, I was called by the National Assembly at the time.

(Employee) Dismissal. That is not discipline.

It's a greeting order.

If this is a reason for dismissal, all CEOs of public corporations in Korea will be dismissed.]



Some say that it is unusual to pursue dismissal for reasons such as a problem of training that has lasted nearly a year.



[Jun-mo Kim/Professor, Konkuk University Administration Department: (Incheon Airport) is a very important institution not only in Korea but also internationally.

(Head of the agency) I think it is necessary to reveal a direct causal relationship for a serious decision such as dismissal.] The



Ministry of Information and Communication plans to open a public agency steering committee next week to deal with the dismissal of the president, but the president said that it was a matter of honor tomorrow. (16th) He said he would open a press conference to reveal his position.
