In December 2021, in an interview with the media, he claimed that he did not play golf with Kim Mun-Kio, a former executive (Meanwhile, the deceased) of Seongnam Development Corp., which was involved in corruption in the development project in Seongnam south of Seoul. At that time he was there mayor.
Allegations of corruption

Appeal to the institute
