Song Yeong-jin, a member of the Jeonju city council (Jochon-dong, Yeoui-dong, and Innovation-dong), who was suspended from party membership for drunk driving, was found to be unofficially working in a regional committee.
On the 17th, Rep. Song Young-jin said in a telephone interview with CBS No Cut News, “I was the secretary general of the Jeonju Byeong Regional Committee, but I was disciplined (for drunk driving) and I am only doing activities unofficially.”
Rep. Song continued, “There is a part of the regional committee where there are not many young and re-elected members, but it is a role dimension as such a part.”
Previously, on August 19 of last year, Jeonju City Councilman Song Young-jin was caught by the police after drinking alcohol to the level of license suspension, getting behind the wheel, and then falling asleep on a road near a middle school in Jeonju.
At the time, Rep. Song, who bowed his head, saying, “I feel sorry for what it is as an elected position. I deeply reflect on it.” It was found that it was reduced by years.
Controversy is also raised over the effectiveness of the disciplinary action that the Democratic Party of Korea has given to city councilors caught driving drunk.
One party member said, “Even if I raised an objection while being suspended from membership, I don’t seem to feel even aware of the problem of continuing unofficial activities and attending meetings.” I don’t know why they are punishing me,” he said.
In the midst of this, the Jeonju City Council’s Problem Economy Committee, chaired by Rep. Song Young-jin, raised rumors about the establishment of the Jeonju City Hall’s badminton men’s unemployment team, showing a difference in position with Jeonju City over the scope of qualifications for the first coach.
While Jeonju City is in a position to “widen the door” of qualifications for application, including elementary, middle and high school leadership experience, the Jeonju City Council insists that “the width must be narrowed” only with college and unemployment team leadership experience, and the badminton coach contest was canceled.
In particular, inside and outside the local sports world, rumors are going around as a famous medalist with a close relationship with Congressman Song even came to Jeonju City Hall’s first badminton coach Hama Pyeong.
Regarding this, Rep. Song Young-jin said, “It is true that we are friends, but we do not know whether to apply as the first badminton coach at Jeonju City Hall or not.” “he said.
