[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] Kim Jung-ho, chairman of the Brian Impact Foundation and a member of the Compliance and Trust Committee, said on the 4th, "We cannot communicate with the outside world," regarding the recent verbal abuse controversy. In an article posted on Kakao's internal network on the 3rd, Chairman Kim said, "I asked the ethics committee to discipline me on my own."

Chairman Kim made the remarks when asked by reporters about the response of Kim Bum-soo, chairman of Kakao's management reform committee, to last week's revelation before attending the sixth community emergency management meeting held at Pangyo Agit in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.

Earlier, Chairman Kim began to explain himself through his social media (SNS) following reports that he made abusive and abusive remarks while receiving reports from Kakao employees on the 28th of last month. The abusive language in question points to wrong management practices, such as an executive selecting a construction company for an idle site on Jeju Island without approval or agreement It is an argument that it is a mistake that came out. In addition, he pointed out internal issues such as corporate golf membership, data center (IDC), concert hall corruption, and compensation focused on management.

However, problems arose as internal executives of Kakao, pointed out by Chairman Kim, raised objections, and eventually Hong Eun-taek put the brakes on the disclosure. "We have set up an investigation team around the Kakao community compliance management office and a law firm to audit the allegations," CEO Hong said in an in-house notice. "We ask you to wait until the results of the investigation come out."

Later, in an article posted on Kakao's internal network on the 3rd, Chairman Kim said, "I asked the ethics committee to discipline me."
