[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Yoon Seok-heon, Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), has recently sparked controversy by promoting employees who were previously disciplined for involvement in hiring irregularities during the recent regular personnel reshuffle.
According to the financial sector on the 23rd, the FSS promoted Team Leader Chae to Deputy Director and Senior Investigator Kim to Team Leader. Both individuals were disciplined after being found guilty of hiring irregularities during their time working in the HR team, as revealed by the Board of Audit and Inspection's investigation.
In response, the FSS Labor Union issued a statement criticizing, "Those involved in hiring irregularities have once again been promoted this year without fail."
They added, "Due to the aftermath of the hiring irregularities, innocent employees have suffered from promotion restrictions and wage cuts such as reduced performance bonuses for three consecutive years," and emphasized, "Such personnel decisions should not be made. Is there truly any sense of justice at the FSS?"
Furthermore, they warned, "No matter how much personnel decisions are the exclusive authority of the Governor, responsibility for wrongful personnel actions will be borne in some form."
