[Interview file] "Why are you doing reporters?" Why we should write a'copper market' article

1.

A senior asked the reporter why.

I was also confused because I couldn't speak.

The senior who asked the question said that he previously entered the interviewer for a new reporter.

I asked all the applicants about the motives for applying for the reporter, but he said he was puzzled because the answer he wanted from within did not come out.

That's why you ask me too.

answer that Senior Lee hoped for was'to monitor capital and power'.

If so, consider whether our organization is monitoring capital and power.

As I am also a member of the SBS Press Bureau, it may not be objective.

Still, I think the senior reporters I have observed while in this organization have adhered to the principle that people with capital and power report anything wrong.

I think this case of An Seungnam Guri Market could be reported for the same reason.

Any SBS reporter would have written this article.

SBS

from January 27th.

It was divided into three.

The first is the issue of the mayor's son who is serving in the military at the city hall, the second is the issue of the mayor's suspicion of hospitality in golf and high-end restaurants, and the third is the issue of hiring close staff.

▶'Mayor' father on the 3rd floor of Guri City Hall, son of'military' on the 2nd floor

▶ Guri Mayor, playing golf and going to high-end restaurants ahead of the group 3 business

▶ Guri market, recruiting children of close friends…

Even if you drink and drive

I want to hold onto anyone I don't know and ask.

"Excuse me, but where did you serve in the military?"

Of these, how many people can answer'Father's work place'?

Is it about 1 in 10,000?

I'm not sure because I can't find any relevant statistics.

There is no denying that military service at my father's office is special.

Mayor Ahn explained in detail the full-time reserve system that the reporters did not ask.

The reporters did not raise any concerns about Ahn's full-time service.

SBS raised the question of how the place of work was assigned to City Hall.

When the reporters first inquired, their unit explained that they were placed in the nearest city hall considering the place of residence.

However, the reporters found that there is a full-time reserve station that is closer to Guri City Hall.

I inquired again.

Then, it was revealed that the location of work was decided in consideration of not only the distance to commute, but also the living environment and inclination, in accordance with the Army's soldier management regulations.

Then, Ahn asked again what was the living environment and propensity to be placed in Guri City Hall.

The final answer to this was not heard from my unit.

Mayor Ahn, a

, has not intervened in the deployment of troops, and it has been reported that the full-time reserves working in the city hall are more intense than other work locations.

Because of this, they claim that it cannot be viewed as a privilege.

(Even if you give up a hundred times and say yes), you must have forgotten one variable.

Lee Byung Ahn's father is Mayor of Guri.

The fact that Ahn's work place is on the second floor of Guri City Hall, and Ahn's father's work place is on the third floor of Guri City Hall.

No matter how difficult your military service is, if your father is in the same building, the story will be different.

is a Chinese character called “Gwajeon Nonpayment”

.

By saying,'I do not heal my gods in a cucumber field', it means that I should not do anything that would be suspicious.

Mayor Ahn is the local government leader leading the citizens of Guri.

Mayor Ahn seems to have also visited the office after his son, Lee Byung Ahn's troop deployment.

What were the thoughts of the majority of city hall officials watching this?

SBS reported that Mayor Ahn met a construction company executive before and after a competition for urban development projects along the Han River in Guri City in August last year.

Mayor Ahn is actively responding to articles related to military service and personnel, but has not made any stance on this part.

reporter heard directly from several construction company executives who had met with Mayor Ahn.

They all acknowledged meeting with Mayor Ahn.

Mayor Ahn and the construction company's positions are slightly different from the date of the meeting, but the fact that the two sides met is now unchanged.

A civic group has filed a complaint against Mayor Ahn to the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office.

Mayor Ahn admitted to meeting an executive at a construction company in a high-class restaurant in Yeouido last July.

I admitted that the payment was made by my friend and real estate developer Kim.

The reporters confirmed that one of the foods ate at the meeting was a fire stamp.

As a result of inquiries to the restaurant, the cheapest course meal with fire stamping is 175,000 won per person.

is said that the mayor of

was also paid by Kim.

Is there any problem?

I also inquired with an official of the National Rights Commission.

It is said that if job relevance is proven, you may be subject to a fine for negligence pursuant to Article 8 (2) of the Unfair Solicitation Prohibition Act.

mayor

came out, has a common saying about meeting executives of construction companies at golf courses and restaurants.

They went without knowing who came out.

Kim, a real estate developer, called out and said that there was an executive at a construction company.

with construction

reporter does not completely know what was being said at the

with construction company executives.

However, the problem consciousness of the reporters is Mayor Ahn's inappropriate behavior.

Mayor Ahn met a construction company executive who seemed to have a job relationship ahead of a project worth over 3 trillion won.

We decided that this is something the media should point out.

local government head, who

also a politician.

The elected local government head can recruit himself and his staff who have worked together. These are tenure-based public officials and serve primarily as an assistant during the mayor's tenure.

The reporters have never questioned the appointment of public officials in terms of terms.

During this interview, I heard the stories of several Guri city officials and affiliates.

The common reaction is that they attract their own person to an excessive degree.

It is estimated that there are more than 20 people who have entered the city hall or affiliated offices among the aides of Mayor Ahn.

It is said that even their children were hired because they were close to Mayor Ahn.

It is so-called'Nth greetings'.

Only 3 cases confirmed by reporters.

Human resources are more important than any other field.

If there was an appointment in advance, the rest of the applicants would be just a bridesmaid.

The reporters determined that the public interest value to report on the personnel suspicion was sufficient.

One informant said that Mayor Ahn and his aides are demanding recruitment of rights party members.

They are already preparing for the next election.

There are even stories of public officials calling for the recruitment of party members.

If true, it could be considered a violation of election law.

Jeong Mo, a policy adviser to the Mayor of

,

, drunk driving last July.

I was suspended for 1 month.

Jeong, a tenure official, was reappointed at the end of his suspension.

Mayor Ahn actively clarifies the reappointment of Mr. Jung.

He said that he had no choice but to re-appoint him because he had excellent performance evaluation.

At the same time, it also discusses the right to take charge of public affairs in Article 25 of the Constitution.

Of course, the reporters have never reported that Jung's reappointment was'illegal'.

At this time, I was able to get a new understanding of Guri's personnel principles.

Even if you drive under the influence of alcohol, Guri can be moderated even after being punished as long as you have excellent skills.

I sometimes see articles caught drunk driving by professional baseball players.

Athletes caught drunk driving have quite a high level of punishment.

The club sometimes expels the player from the baseball team in the form of'random withdrawal'.

Penalties and return procedures are carried out regardless of the player's status.

It doesn't matter whether this player's season batting average is 20% or 30%, or the ERA is in the range of 3 or 2 points.

A franchise star player retired in disgrace due to drunk driving.

One player has a brilliant major league career, but has yet to return to the domestic league.

If this player had been for Guri-si, he would have been able to return earlier, right?

Reports related to Ahn Seung-nam's Guri market have

since the end of last year.

It has been decided that the Civil Society Team of the SBS Department of Social Affairs will take over from mid-January.

There were several reporters, and the contents of the report were vast.

A number of suspicions have been raised, as well as what SBS reported for three days from January 27th (military service, hospitality, greetings).

The Civil Society team determined that the coverage should be undertaken. This is because the party is the elected local government head. Local government heads are given enormous powers. If you look at Article 9 of the Local Autonomy Act, such as personnel rights, budget planning rights, and license rights, various authorities are listed.

The reason why the reporters decided to report on Ahn Seung-nam's Guri Mayor was because they judged that they were acting incorrectly as a public official. There is a part that is difficult to see as'appropriate' in what Mayor Ahn has shown so far. In particular, suspicion of hospitality at high-end restaurants and golf courses, and suspicion of recruitment of rights party members cannot be excluded.

Mayor Ahn raises suspicion of SBS's major shareholder involvement in this report by SBS. SBS reporters made this report through numerous verification and verification procedures. I feel compassion for the appearance of an elected official coming up with an unfounded, yet typical, conspiracy theory.

For this part, I will replace with the introduction of Media Today's article on January 29th. [▶ Go to Media Today article]
