Ambassador Jang Ha-sung went to the Gangnam Room Salon with money raised from student tuition when he was a professor at Korea University. If true, as an educator and high-ranking official, morality is fatal. When the Ministry of Education announced that “the teachers from the offices went to the hall with corporate cards,” it was an environment that was accepted as fact, but since Ambassador Jang’s real name was revealed, the facts are intertwined.
Isn’t it a salon hall?
Vice Premier Yoo Eun-hye and Minister of Education explained on the 26th that it was necessary to confirm whether Ambassador Jang actually visited the hall during a state audit of the National Assembly Education Committee. This position emerged in the bargaining process with Congressman Kyung-tae Cho.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Communications perjured Ambassador Jang as a restaurant, not as an entertainment bar.” Because it was February this year … “(Deputy Prime Minister Yoo),” Is it suitable for an entertainment bar? “” (Rep. Cho), “As Ambassador Jang used the year 2016 and 2017, it is hard to see how it was operated at that time” (Deputy Prime Minister Yu), “Don’t be shameless” (Rep. Cho), “(Ambassador Chang At that time, it is necessary to reconfirm how this business was opened. ”(Deputy Prime Minister Yu)
The key point of Vice Premier Yoo’s answer is that it was an entertainment business disguised as a restaurant at the time of the Ministry of Education audit, but at the time of Ambassador Chang’s visit, it could be a general restaurant rather than an entertainment business. This is similar to Ambassador Jang’s clarification. On the 21st, Ambassador Chang said, “This is not an entertainment bar. The restaurant I went to has a restaurant in an open hallway, and there are some separate rooms, “he said.” The audit report from the Ministry of Education said that the room had karaoke facilities, but I never used there (karaoke in a separate room). “
In the provision of the audit result, ‘then entertainment establishment’
The content of the ‘Audit results and disposition of the full audit results of the Korea Central Academy and Korea University’ published on the website of the Ministry of Education on the 24th of last month and clarifications from the ambassadors Deputy Prime Minister and Chang are opposites. The Korea University Comprehensive Audit of the Ministry of Education was conducted from January 29 to February 11 of this year and analyzed the four fiscal years 2016 to 2019. If you look at pages 42 to 46 of the disposition form as As a result of the audit, the business is stipulated as an “ entertainment bar disguised as a western restaurant ” from March 2016 to December 2019.
It appears that Ambassador Jang visited the establishment six times from March 9, 2016 to April 21, 2017. I swiped the corporate card 12 times and made a split payment (also known as split) with the research fund card from school and administrative card. Total spending was 2.79 million won. The Auditor’s Office of the Ministry of Education placed Ambassador Jang’s payment details at the time in ‘Annex 1, Western restaurant camouflage entertainment bar corporate card usage details’. Ambassador Jang is said to have used a corporate card at an entertainment bar. Of course, at the time of the announcement of the audit result, Ambassador Jang’s real name was not disclosed and was expressed as “reserved teachers”. Korea University did not raise any objection to this part. At that time, the Ministry of Education responded to the reporter’s question ‘Can I express an entertainment bar as a lounge?’ It’s a salon with a girl, ”he said.
For Vice Premier Yoo and Ambassador Jang to clarify, the error of the Ministry of Education audit must be acknowledged. On the contrary, if there is no problem with the results of the Ministry of Education’s audit, the clarifications by Deputy Prime Minister Yu and Ambassador Jang would be incorrect. Vice Premier Yoo said that it was unclear whether it was an entertainment business even in 2016-2017, and Ambassador Jang also responded with the effect that it was not an entertainment business at the time. As a result of the audit, the disposition document stipulates that it is an “entertainment establishment where female employees sit at the guests’ table and entertain alcohol” during the period.
Vice Premier Yu corrected “Inappropriate place to use the corporate card”
Vice Premier Yoo reviewed his position late in the afternoon on the 26th, criticizing that the results of the Ministry of Education audit and Vice Premier Yoo’s explanation contradicted each other. Chairman Yoo Ki-hong of the Education Committee (and the Democratic Party) put it up. President Yoo said, “I told you that it is necessary to confirm the facts regarding the use of the Korean University corporate card, but is there any other confirmation?” In response, Vice Premier Yu said, “I told you before that it was necessary to check how this business was operated in 2016 and 2017, but at that time, we also confirmed that the business was an inappropriate place to use a research grant card. “. “There is something that Ambassador Jang said at the Foreign Communications Commission, but that part should not be mentioned,” he said. “At the time, it was confirmed that this business was an inappropriate place to use this corporate card and the research fund card.” As a result of the audit, it means that Ambassador Jang used a corporate card in the hall of the room. It was a direct refutation of Ambassador Jang’s explanation that it was not an entertainment establishment.
