Inappropriate comments by candidate Byeon Chang-heum from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, such as negative perception towards non-regular workers, came out one after another, sparking controversy over qualifications. On the 18th, comments such as driving the accident at Guui Station on Seoul Subway Line 2, where a young irregular worker died in 2016 due to outsourcing the danger, came to be known as personal negligence, and on the 18th it was announced advocacy for an enduring work culture on the construction site. As the controversy grew, candidate Byeon began to evolve saying, “I’m sorry I caused people concern.” However, it seems difficult to avoid quality controversy during the National Assembly staff hearing process.
“There is nothing wrong with Guui Station, but Park Won-soon is attacked”
In the “ Meeting Minutes of the Headquarters of the Seoul Urban and Housing Corporation (SH) Building Safety Project Headquarters in June 2016, ” obtained by Representative Eun-Hye Kim of the National Land Transportation Commission of the National Assembly on this day, candidate Byun’s statements about responsibility for the “ Guui station accident ” appear. In May 2016, the accident at Guui station was the death of Kim Mo (then 19 years old), who was repairing a screen door alone on the platform, he was hit by a train. At the meeting, candidate Byun said: “In the Guui station accident, the employee of the company in charge was accidentally killed, but the mayor (Park Won-soon) is being attacked by something that is actually nothing.” He said, “I just need to pay (Kim) a little attention.” said. The intention is that only the mayor at the time, Park Won-soon, the high-ranking agency supervisor, would be criticized for Kim’s death.
However, the Guui Station accident was a typical example of the “outsourcing of risk” that led to subcontractors of the Seoul-Seoul subway (now Seoul Transportation Corporation), and much criticism was spilled against Seoul, which was the main institution. In fact, the Supreme Court upheld a fine of 10 million won on a former Seoul Metro representative who was charged with manslaughter in November last year.
Candidate Byeon also made a statement at the same meeting to rationalize long working hours. In response to the assistant executive’s comments about the need to work 5 days a week, candidate Byeon said, “If you do it 5 days a week, it is a ‘dolphin job’ and nothing is going to work.” In order to unjustifiably shorten the construction period at the construction site, “stone pipes”, which means working regardless of weekdays or holidays, are considered to be one of the leading causes of industrial accidents.
On the morning of the 11th, President Moon Jae-in will attend an informational session on rental housing to live at Dongtan Public Rental Housing, a memorial complex of 1 million LH rental housing in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi province. In the future, LH President Byun Chang-heum is seen as a candidate for Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Newsis
The president urged the importance of rental housing, but what is the perception of the candidates?
Candidate Byun was asked to pay particular attention to the conversation with President Moon Jae-in about the importance of renting apartments in Dongtan, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province on the 11th. However, Candidate Byun made a comment that could also be problematic at this time when he was president of SH. He said: “Why don’t those who cannot live eat at home or buy food because they are crazy?” Regarding ‘Happy House’, he said: “When selecting a tenant, you have to select a person who does not have a car. If the tenants come in and ask us to draw an additional (parking), it becomes very difficult.” It has been criticized as a statement that contains prejudices against residents of rental housing.

Criticisms of the People’s Power and the Justice Party …
Candidate Byun said, “I am sorry to have caused concern to people with my comments when I was president of SH. I sincerely apologize to those who have been hurt by me. I sincerely apologize as a candidate for public office.” I will reflect deeply and act more strongly. ”
Candidate Byeon immediately apologized, but the National Assembly staff hearing scheduled for the 23rd will not be easy. This is because the power of the people is in a situation where candidate Byeon, who will oversee real estate policy, the biggest problem for Moon Jae-in’s administration, is undergoing “intensive verification”. On this day, spokesperson Kim Eun-hye criticized the fact that “the government showed the reality of both faces on how the weak think.” Even with the fact that candidate Byeon held an online press conference that day, he established the day as “the second homeland.” Seung-min Yoo, a former member of the People’s Power, also said, “(The controversial candidate mentioned by Byeon) is not a private comment, but is recorded in the minutes of SH Corporation.” “The minimum consideration and respect for human dignity and the value of life” Is President Moon proposing a candidate for Minister of Lands? “He criticized. The Justice Party also began to show a cold reaction to candidate Byun’s gaze on the labor issue. Justice Party spokesman Jang Hye-young raised his voice today, saying: “I deeply regret the perception of the unreasonable and unreasonable reality of outsourcing danger and dismissing structural disasters as personal mistakes.”
