Jin Junyu came close to Park Zhenhe and whispered, "Vice President, I heard rumors about President Han these past two days."
"My father-in-law?"
Jin Junyu nodded, "Everyone is saying that President Han is critically ill."
"Where did this come from?"
"…I believe it was Ms. Lee Jung-sook who spread it intentionally."
"Why?" Park Jin Hyuk looked at Kim Jun Woo in confusion.
Before they had time to communicate further, the national political supervision began again.
Park Jin Hyuk took the witness stand, and the chairman asked, "Witness, are you Park Jin Hyuk, the vice chairman of DS Group?"
Following this question, flashbulbs began to crackle, and the questioning of Park Jin Hyuk began.
First, a ruling party MP questioned. After he finished questioning, an opposition MP stood up and asked, "Witness, have you heard any rumors that there are problems with the flu vaccine?"
"I heard," Park Jin Hyuk said frankly, "that there were rumors of deaths caused by the vaccine."
"Then why didn't you take any countermeasures?"
"Perhaps you don't know yet, but after receiving the news, DS Group immediately took action."
The congressman looked down at the documents in his hand and said, "Witness, this is the scene of the national political inspection. You are aware of the consequences of lying, right? What measures have you taken?"
Other opposition lawmakers also criticized him, saying, "It seems lying has become a habit." "He can lie without changing his expression or heartbeat."
After everyone calmed down, Park Jin Hyuk replied: "I did not lie. We did take countermeasures. DS has suspended vaccine exports to Japan."
After news of vaccine-related deaths in Japan, Park Jin Hyuk ordered a suspension of exports to Japan.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
But a moment later, the congressman asked loudly again: "What kind of response is that?"
"So what constitutes a response? If you think there's a problem with the vaccine, you don't have to use it. The use of vaccines is not mandatory, it's completely voluntary, so I don't think it's necessary to supply vaccines to countries that say there's a problem with the vaccine."
"What you said is not the fundamental solution to the problem!"
"Then may I ask, what is the fundamental solution to the problem?"
The congressmen were at a loss for words when asked this question.
Park Jin Hyuk then said to the other members behind him, "I believe the DS has taken the most appropriate measures. If you are not satisfied, please tell me what other measures need to be taken?"
"You are so young, yet you speak so arrogantly." "Shouldn't it be you who comes up with a solution to the problem?" Accusations came one after another.
Park Jin Hyuk said again: "Everyone has been talking about problems. What exactly do you mean?"
"Hasn't it been said? Vaccines have side effects."
"Who said that vaccines have side effects?" Park Jin Hyuk did not give in at all.
"Witness!" the congressman shouted.
Park Jin Hyuk said in a calm tone, "Please tell me who said that so that I can answer your question."
"Didn't you just admit that you heard rumors about the vaccine's side effects?"
"The existence of side effects and hearing about side effects are two different things. From what I know, there is no problem with the vaccine. If you think there is a problem with the vaccine, is there any evidence?"
The congressman pointed his finger at Park Jin Hyuk and said passionately: "Didn't you just say it? It was confirmed that the vaccine had side effects in Japan, so the supply to Japan was stopped."
"Confirmed that side effects have occurred in Japan? How come I didn't know about it?" Park Jin Hyuk said, "Japan claims that the vaccine has side effects. There is no basis for this. This statement is not worth refuting at all. Our response is to stop supplying."
The opposition MPs began to discuss the matter among themselves. After a while, one MP said again, "DS's decision to stop supplying Japan is inappropriate!"
"If the other party thinks there is a problem with the vaccine, should we continue to supply it to him?"
"Out of humanitarian considerations..."
"There are still many countries that have not received vaccines. Under such circumstances, should I continue to supply Japan? I find this incomprehensible."
"Because Japan is our friendly country..." said a member of parliament.
"Aren't other countries our allies? Other than Japan, no other country has raised the issue of side effects. I find it incomprehensible that you legislators are harping on this issue. Isn't the national audit based on considerations for our own country? Why are you defending Japan?"
"Witness, please be careful with your words." The MP had nothing more to say and had to end his questioning.
Then another member of parliament came out and started a new round of questioning on the issue of gift tax.
"Witness, you paid the gift tax in kind using the shares of DS BioLogics, is that correct?"
"Yes."
"But you once said you would donate your DS BioLogics shares to society. Is that true?"
"That's true."
"Then why did you go back on your word and change your mind later?"
"I regret this, so I hope to cancel the gift tax I paid with my DS BioLogics shares. I'm currently trying to determine if this is possible. The value of the DS BioLogics shares I've paid far exceeds the gift tax I should have paid. Since you've pointed this out, I hope you can help me cancel my last payment."
"Well...that's not what I meant." The congressman said quickly.
Many citizens saw the scene on TV, and the national political audit became an opportunity for Park Jin Hyuk to clarify the issue and promote himself.
The MP realized he couldn't ask any more questions, so he asked a few more irrelevant questions and ended the questioning.
Another council member then came up and questioned Park Jin Hyuk, "Not long ago, there was a story about an employee at DS Electronics who committed suicide due to bullying from their superior. As far as I know, this isn't the first time, is it?"
"I'm also very sorry that this happened."
"As the head of the DS Group, are you just going to leave it at that with a fleeting regret? How do you plan to resolve this issue?"
"Do I need to answer questions that have nothing to do with health and welfare?" Park Jin Hyuk looked at the chairman of the Health and Welfare Committee.
The lawmaker immediately told the chairman, "Although today's meeting is the Health and Welfare Commission's national audit, you are welcome to ask any questions that concern the public. Please make the right judgment."
