Kim Haeng, a candidate for Minister of Gender Equality and Family안전놀이터, said, “I have been active in the media, political parties, and politics for almost 40 years, so how can you say that First Lady Kim Kun-hee picked me up and brought me to this position?”
At the National Assembly Gender Equality and Family Committee personnel hearing today, Candidate Kim responded as follows to People Power Party lawmaker Cho Eun-hee’s point that ‘there is a comment from the Democratic Party that he became the candidate for Minister of Gender Equality and Family due to his close relationship with First Lady Kim Kun-hee.’
Candidate Kim said, “Ms. Kim is a very successful cultural exhibition planner, and isn’t she a businesswoman?” and “You can tell the role and achievements of a person by looking at what he or she has done.”
Candidate Kim’s explanation like this refuted the opposition party’s claim that Mrs. Kim Kun-hee was behind her nomination as a ministerial candidate.
Candidate Kim asked, “Ms. Kim is a successful person in her own right, and I think I have influence in the political world in my own way,” and asked, “But how can you say that I was picked up by her?”
