Ten years ago, there was a financial pyramid scheme scandal known as the ‘Kim Myung-san Gate,’ involving hundreds of billions of won. Kim Myung-san, the owner of a major investment company, and his accomplices bribed a former prosecutor for illegal favors and judicial lobbying.

Kim Jaewon also smiled at that.
