"타이거파 부두목, 유병호 꼬봉 아니였나"... 분노한 박지원, 시작하자 일갈

Summary

The hearing opened with questions about the lack of belly-landing simulation in South Korea’s pilot-training program. An official said that simulation capability had been requested. The questioner urged the Board of Audit and Inspection to check whether the request was being implemented and report back.

The discussion then turned to the Board’s follow-up on audit findings. The Board’s chair said that an officer and organizational changes had been put in place to monitor implementation, and promised a closer review.

During his questioning, Park Ji-won accused an Audit Committee member of links to the “Tiger faction” and of being a close associate of former senior auditor Yoo Byeong-ho. Park challenged the member to resign, arguing that figures like him had damaged the Board’s credibility. The member denied managing or belonging to the group, rejected the “henchman” characterization, and said he had acted according to his conscience.

Park also criticized the Board’s handling of alleged misuse of official expenses and cards by Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae. He argued that suspected corruption should be referred to prosecutors, contrasting the response with earlier audits that led to investigations. Board officials said the matter had not been a central focus of the audit, that accounting irregularities alone did not establish misconduct, and that the committee had concluded the case did not warrant a formal complaint.
