Amid suspicion of an opaque use of donations, grandmother Lee Yong-soo, a 92-year-old victim of Japanese comfort women, said 11, 41% of the net donation, except for the donation Designated, it was used to support victims. However, Jeong Yeon-yeon remained silent on the unsolved suspicion, such as refusing to reveal details of the donations. “Any non-governmental organization (NGO) in the world reveals the details of its activities,” said a Jeong Yeon-yeon official. “Why don’t you ask the company? I think it’s too hard.”

Jeong Yeon-yeon held a press conference at the Human Rights Foundation in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the same day. “It is a running group.”

On the same day, Jung Yeon-yeon released the donation income data and expense breakdown data for each project from 2017 to 2019, and announced that “91 million won, or 41% of the total 2.2264 million won excluding designated donations were used for the victim support project. ” The designated donations are intended to be used, so it is necessary to determine how much money was spent in supporting victims of the net amount of money less this. In the past three years, net donations have increased by 1.36 billion won in 2017, 532.22 million won in 2018 and 43,448 million won in 2019. Jung Yeon-yeon explained that, among them, he spent 836 million won in 2017, 23 million won in 2018 and 24 million won in 2019 as the cost of supporting victims. This includes paying 100 million won per person as a prize for women’s human rights to a total of 8 victims in 2017.

However, on this day, Jeong Yeon did not disclose the details of business donation income and expenses in 2016.

Jeong Yeon-yeon apologized for the fact that 99,999 recipients were included in the revealed donation usage details, “The data was not processed in an orderly manner due to poor practical conditions.” Under current law, Eui-Yeon Yue said it failed to meet the funding standard (10 billion won) under an external audit, and replaced it with an internal audit through an attorney and accountant each year. However, even after being audited by experts, it is noted that this type of error is repeated multiple times.

Also, suspicions arose that Jeong Yeon-yeon spent quite a large amount after celebrating the 28th anniversary at a bar in Seoul, 2018. Jeong Yeon-yeon has held a ‘Sponsored Night’ event at the bar every November since 2009, when I was on the Korean Countermeasures Council for Mental Problems. In the announcement of the other year, it is not possible to determine exactly how much the bar spent on the bar. Jeong Yeon-yeon commented, “According to the IRS standard, the representative source of the total amount of fundraising in 2018 is ‘Diobrouing.'”

On the other hand, Maeil Economic Daily confirmed the amount of the annual donation and the use of the ‘Meeting of Citizens with Mental Health’ in the Housing Tax of the National Tax Service. As a result, around 1.26.37 million won was raised over 6 years from 2014 to 2019. It was used

However, in 2014, only about 808 million won was spent on projects to support survivors, and since then, at least 984 million won per year and up to 1873 million won have been used to support survivors. Seo Hyuk-soo, representative of the civic meeting, explained: “In 2014 and 2015, the amount of money raised was mainly due to the construction of the historic building.
