There has been a continuous uproar over the resignation of Yong Hye-in, the nominee for Minister of Gender Equality and Family,,, The background is that if she resigns from her proportional representation seat, under the semi-linked proportional representation succession rules, the seats will be transferred to the satellite party parent party (the Democratic Party), making the Basic Income Party an extraparliamentary party. The problem here is that quarterly regular subsidies from the Election Commission and individual sponsorship fundraising have been suspended, making it difficult not only to run the party but also to pay salaries to party staff . It may be difficult, but Yong's husband, Park Ki-hong, deputy head of strategic planning for the Basic Income Party, receives about 3 million won a monthly salary under the name of a party official. Therefore, this salary structure is connected to the controversy over Yong's insistence on holding concurrent lawmakership . Although Yong receives 13 million won per month as a proportional representation lawmaker and a National Assembly member, he receives not only his husband's 3 million won but also other party officials' salaries,,,. The opposition calls the Basic Income Party the "Family Income Party" and is criticized. Additionally, the Basic Income Party entrusts its audits to an accounting firm run by the family of party officials, which is said to be the accounting firm where the party's external audit was conducted in February by the brother of Geum Min, the chair of the Policy Committee, as the representative accountant is reportedly the party's brother. Although there is no legal issue, there are concerns that entrusting the audit to an accounting firm run by the family of party officials could lead to conflicts of interest. Meanwhile, regarding his intention to resign from the proportional representation seat, candidate Yong said, "I will prepare well for the confirmation hearing," ,,,Since he would have to hold onto his position to receive party operating expenses including personnel expenses,,, he was demanding again!!!!!!
