Among the 300 elected members of the 22nd National Assembly elected in the April 10 general election, 24 were found to own virtual assets (coins). Among them, there were seven people who held more than 10 million won.
As a result of analyzing the asset reports submitted by elected members of the National Assembly to the National Election Commission on the 14th, it was found that 24 out of 300 people held coins in their own names, spouses, or children. The total coin value they reported was 335.7 million won. There were 13 elected candidates who invested directly in coins in their own names. The People Power Party (7 people) and the People’s Future (5 people) had the most with 12 people, followed by the Democratic Party of Korea (11 people) and the New Reform Party (1 person).
As of December 31 last year, when the general election candidate’s assets were registered, the person who held the largest amount of coins was Democratic Party President-elect Kim Jun-hyuk (Suwonjeong, Gyeonggi Province). President-elect Kim held bitcoin worth 114.2 million won in his own name. However, President-elect Kim said in a phone call, “We disposed of all assets after reporting them and do not currently possess them.”
Following President-elect Kim, the person who held the largest amount of coins was People’s Future President-elect Park Chung-kwon (proportion number 2), a former North Korean defector who served as a senior researcher at Hyundai Steel. He held Solana worth 58.8 million won, but disposed of it in February. Reported. The person elected with the most diverse types of coins was People Power Party President-elect Lee Yang-soo (Gangwon Sokcho-Inje-Goseong-Yangyang), who had 29 types in his name and his eldest son’s name.
This is the first time that general election candidates have reported their assets and also submitted details of their virtual asset holdings. As the ruling and opposition parties each proposed the incorporation of virtual assets into the system as pledges for this general election, discussions on legislation related to virtual assets are expected to begin in earnest in the 22nd National Assembly. The People Power Party announced that it would establish an integrated market price and disclosure system by enacting the ‘Basic Act on Virtual Assets’, and the Democratic Party promised to allow the issuance, listing, and trading of Bitcoin’s spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).
