2 million won paid to related children last month … Jeong Yeon-yeon, 11-Day Suspicion Conference
On the 10th it was confirmed that the children of the Japanese civic group related to the military victims, Justice Memory Association (Eui-yeon Jung) recently received a “Kim Bok-dong Scholarship”, which was created with grants from the elderly Kim Bok-dong ( 1926-2019), a victim of comfort women.
According to the nonprofit corporation Kim Bok-dong’s Hope (Hope) website, the first of last month, the Hope side paid a 2 million won grant to the children of A’s first director, Jeong- Yeon Jeong. This scholarship was created with money raised by citizens after Kim’s death in January last year. In addition to Yoon Mi-hyang, who served as president of the president, Jung-yeon Jung, president of the Citizens Party, has served as a representative of hope until recently. Elect Yun also participated in the scholarship review last year. Mr. A was the first director of Chung Yeon-yeon, founded in September 2016, and is still registered as a director. Mr. A was also named executive of the Democratic Party regional organization in May last year.
Hope added a scholarship in February last year to limit recipients to “children of civic activists.” It was the reason to support and encourage activists from civil society organizations, such as women, human rights, peace, work and unification, who practiced Kim’s usual will. Last year, 25 of 27 applicants and 10 of 14 applicants this year received this scholarship. Most were the children of progressive activists.
Mr. A said in a call with Dong-A Ilbo: “The wife applied for a scholarship in consultation with her son. “I saw Kim’s documentary and was impressed with the boy, so I requested it.” Mr. A also said, “When I applied for the scholarship, it would have no effect on the results of the review because he did not inform me that he was director of Jeong Yeon-yeon.” At that time, notification of scholarship recruitment was required to present a certificate of family relations and a certificate of career and employment of the parents.
In the Kim Bok-dong scholarship, some donations from Jeong Yeon-yeon trading companies were also used. According to the National Tax Service Domestic Tax Corporation Public Tax Corporation, the performance planning company H received a total of 45.5 million won in Eui-yeon Yeon businesses in 2018, and last year designated and donated 20 million from won to Eui-yeon Yeon. There were a total of 4 companies that sent donations to the company. Eui-yeon Jung will hold a press conference on the 11th to clarify the suspicion of using Eui-yeon’s donations and whether President-elect Yoon’s agreement with the comfort women of South Korea and Japan is “prior recognition” . Prior to this, Grandmother Lee Yong-soo (92), a victim of comfort women, said on the 7th: “The money (for comfort women) was never spent for the victim’s grandmother.”
