Ms. Park, the wife of Kim Seung-won, a nominee for Minister of Justice, has been identified as principal of A School, a full-day facility for children with developmental disabilities operated by the Korean Child Development Social Cooperative. The facility opened in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, in 2019 and moved to Jangan-gu, Suwon City, the nominee's constituency, in January 2022. It has not been approved as a school by the Gyeonggi Office of Education, the province's education authority, and is not registered as an alternative educational institution. Under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, only approved schools may use the term school, while operating full-day classes without approval is illegal. A School runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with after-school classes until 5:30 p.m., and currently has 12 students. Monthly tuition is about 2.3 million Korean won, with a possible 1 million won reduction through a government-supported after-school activity voucher. Ms. Park received 237 million Korean won in salary, including bonuses, from the cooperative between 2021 and July of this year, and separately reported 66.85 million won in business income from 2022 through last month, averaging 4.5 million won per month. The nominee's 26-year-old eldest son is believed to work at the facility and received 85.8 million won in salary from May 2024 through July of this year. His 22-year-old university-student daughter received more than 7.7 million won in business income from the cooperative from two years ago through August of this year. The allegations have emerged as the Lee Jae Myung government pursues a large-scale crackdown on unapproved educational facilities, including a nationwide survey with provincial education offices and a system of enforcement fines announced after an April pledge to eradicate such operations. Kim Min-jeon's office of the People Power Party said the nominee's family should clarify the matter immediately. Kim Seung-won's confirmation hearing preparation team said it would issue a comprehensive response later because of the volume of media inquiries about the cooperative.
