In November 2020, when the Minister of Education Lee Jin -sook was president of Chungnam National University, it was revealed that he had a dinner with 20 university officials. It was also confirmed that the candidate was pointed out by the National Assembly by entrusting ‘Self -thanks’ to employees who played golf with Chungnam National University Bank Bank officials at the time of the restraint guidelines for the meeting with Corona 19.
On the 8th, the candidate had a drinking alcohol at a Korean restaurant after the meeting with 20 professors at Chungnam National University on November 20, 2020. In November 2020, Chungnam National University’s execution expenses were written that they spent only 2,85,1800 won from 12 cases, including meetings on major policy promotions and events.
November 20, 2020, was the day when Prime Minister Chung Se -kyun announced the folk talk of the country with the reconsideration of Corona 19. Considering that Corona 19 was in the first year of the year, it was inappropriate to forced a dinner as the head of the school, given that the social fear of Corona was great.
At the time, Prime Minister Chung said, “The pace of spread is very fast enough to be similar to the crisis in Daegu and Gyeongbuk in February.” He said, “We will take the lead from the government and other public sectors.” “Employees will postpone or cancel the year -end party and dinner meetings, and ask for participation in the workplace through the home work.”
The day the candidate held a group ceremony was about two weeks before the college scholastic ability test (SAT) held on December 3, 2020. The 2020 SAT test schedule was delayed about three weeks from the previous year due to the spread of the Corona 19.
In response to this fact, the Ministry of Education said, “The application of the defense guidelines in the discourse was three days later, not on the day, and even in accordance with the reinforced guidelines of ‘100 or more people’, the meeting was not in violation of the criteria.
The candidate was also pointed out that he was also in an unstable attitude in the process of investigating the golf groups of employees during the spread of Corona 19. More than 20 staff members, including the Secretary General of Chungnam National University and the general secretary, played golf with officials from the banks of Chungnam National University in May 2021, when it was 19th in Corona. On May 24, 2021, Chungnam National University sent a letter of compliance with the extension of the social distance period. The next day, 20 staff members and bank officials were held. At the time, Chungnam National University’s officials asked for ‘cancellation or postponement of meetings, events, dinners, and meetings that are unparalleled in work.’
When the golf group was controversial, the candidate, Chungnam National University, was found to have been investigated by the participants. In October 2021, the National Assembly’s Office of Education, the National Assembly’s Audit, asked, “Did you know that the secretary general, the secretary of the investigator, was a party to the golf that day?” “I think I didn’t judge a little,” he said.
