Scandal [ edit ]

Park Jie-won was charged with abusing his power and violating domestic laws on foreign exchange trade and inter-Korean cooperation affairs while orchestrating covert money transfers by Hyundai to North Korea. He played a pivotal role in arranging the first Inter-Korean summit between South and North Korean leader in June 2000. Hyundai transferred $500 million to the North just months before the summit, triggering criticism that S.Korean Government paid for the summit. Hyundai claimed the money was a payment for exclusive business rights in electric power facilities, communication lines, an industrial park, cross-border roads and railway lines in North Korea. ^[9] In May 2006, he was sentenced to three years in prison. Park was released in February 2007, and subsequently pardoned in December 2007, ^[10] which enabled him to run for a legislative election in April 2008. He was defeated in the 2020 election and lost his seat. ^[11]

Park, on behalf of the NIS, proclaimed that the agency would never meddle in domestic politics again. ^[14]
