Suspicion of preferential hiring of son Kim Se-hwan, former secretary-general of the National Election Commission, is at a crossroads.

Kim Se-hwan, former secretary-general of the National Election Commission, who is suspected of hiring preferential children, is at a crossroads.

The Seoul Central District Court will question former Secretary-General Kim, who is accused of abuse of authority, before his arrest, from 10:50 a.m. today (22nd).

Former Secretary-General Kim briefly replied, "I'm sorry" to reporters who asked if he directly ordered preferential support for his son and why he deleted his records such as mobile phones.

Former Secretary-General Kim is accused of intervening in the process of his son joining the NEC as an eighth-grade experienced worker and being deployed.

Since May last year, the prosecution has been investigating allegations of irregularities in hiring the NEC, including preferential hiring of children, based on the NEC's request for its own investigation and accusations by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.
