Noh Tae-ak, the chairman of the National Election Commission, is confirmed to have traveled overseas three times during his tenure with his spouse. However, details regarding these accompanying trips were not included in the post-trip reports released by the commission.
According to a report submitted to Yang Boo-nam, a member of the Democratic Party, on June 18, Noh traveled to Germany and Estonia for nine days in November 2024, accompanied by his spouse. The trip incurred expenses totaling 71.94 million won, covering airfare, train fares, accommodation, and per diem.
Further documentation from the commission's plans for overseas trips aimed at enhancing electoral systems and international networks also indicates that Noh traveled with his spouse. In November of the previous year, he visited Denmark and Sweden for ten days, with expenses amounting to 90.35 million won.
Additionally, during a trip to Australia and New Zealand from December 2 to 10, 2022, for consultations on electoral political systems and evaluations of overseas voting, Noh was also accompanied by his spouse.
Despite these three overseas trips with his spouse, the commission's publicly released post-trip reports did not include this information.
