Acting Representative Chun Ha-ram of the Reform Party accused Defense Minister nominee Kang Shin-chul and the government of intentionally omitting the nominee’s eldest son’s ownership of a commercial property in Bundang Yangji Village from personnel hearing documents. Chun said the son, born in 1996, bought the property for 700 million Korean won on June 30 of this year, despite having been discharged from the military academy officer corps in June last year and working at a mid-sized company for about one year. Kang’s side said on September 4 that it discovered the omission and immediately submitted additional materials, describing the issue as an error rather than concealment. Chun disputed that explanation, saying the property was omitted three times and was disclosed only after his emergency press conference. He also said the revised list included 715 million Korean won in private debt. Chun questioned how the son financed the purchase and previously argued that the transaction could have secured redevelopment-related rights in Yangji Village, where President Lee Jae Myung resides.
