According to a report by Yonhap News on June 12, the Daegu City Election Commission confirmed that on June 10, an employee, referred to as A, was practicing golf swings on the fourth-floor staircase of the Jung-gu Election Commission building.
Footage of A's actions was captured from outside the building and quickly spread on social media, prompting outrage among netizens. The city election commission plans to refer A to a disciplinary committee.
However, it remains unclear whether A was practicing during work hours. A reportedly explained that he was practicing during his lunch break.
Meanwhile, on the same day, the joint investigation team of the police and prosecutors imposed a travel ban on former Central Election Commission Chairman Noh Tae-ak and former Secretary-General Heo Cheol-hoon, among other election commission officials. Investigations into lower-level staff have been completed, and inquiries into higher-ups are expected to follow. A national investigation into the voting paper shortage is also set to take place.
