Former President Hwang Moo-seong is the first president of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, established in 2014.



However, he resigned abruptly in March 2015, less than half of his three-year term.



At that time, the head of the planning division assumed the role of acting president, and Hwacheon Daeyu was selected as a private business operator in Daejang-dong after a month or so.



In addition, as soon as President Hwang took office, lawyer Nam Wook's remarks that former general manager Yoo was mentioned as the next president of the construction company were revealed, raising suspicions about the background of President Hwang's resignation.



Former president Hwang, who appeared in the police investigation as a witness, admitted that former general manager Yoo had always been the dominant force in the Seongnam Urban Development Corporation.



[Hwang Moo-seong / Former President of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation: (I heard that General Manager Yoo Dong-gyu was in power, but did you feel that way inside?) Oh yes, it must be like everyone knows. What is real power, you have power.] After



being questioned for about four and a half hours, the police revealed that they had been intensively inquiring about the background of his resignation.



Former President Hwang said, "There was no particular reason" for the resignation decision, but he did not deny it when asked if he felt external pressure.



[Hwang Moo-seong / Former President of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation: (When asked if there was any external pressure, he said 'not much'.) There was nothing directly, it was just the atmosphere…

.] The



police are said to have been intensively investigating whether former general manager Yoo Dong-gyu intentionally pushed out former president Hwang and exercised full power to select a Daejang-dong business operator.



In addition, it is known that higher-level involvement in Hwang's resignation was also included in the investigation.
