Kang Hoon-sik, the presidential chief of staff, instructed officials to bolster the effectiveness of the mandatory employment quota for people with disabilities on Korea’s Disability Day. Blue House spokesperson Jeon Eun-su said today (April 20) that Kang, while presiding over a senior aides’ meeting, criticized companies that opt to pay penalties instead of hiring and issued the directive. He also raised concerns about congestion at immigration checkpoints in Incheon Airport, invoking President Lee Jae-myung’s remark that “the appearance of the arrivals hall is a country’s first impression.” Yonhap News TV — for reporting and tips: KakaoTalk/Line jebo23; So Jae-hyung (sojay@yna.co.kr)
