Lee Chan-jin, governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, reported holding about 40.7 billion won in assets as of the end of last year. That is more than 2 billion won higher than the assets reported at the time of the appointment in Aug.
On the 26th, the Government Public Officials Ethics Committee disclosed the asset registration details of 1,903 current and former senior public officials as of Dec. 31 last year. The assets reported by Lee Chan-jin, head of the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), totaled 40.73228 billion won, up about 2.2 billion won from the previously disclosed amount as of Aug. last year (about 38.48875 billion won).
Lee jointly owns with a spouse two apartments (130.89 square meters) in Umyeon-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, with reported values of 1.35 billion won and 1.142 billion won, respectively. In addition, he reported a total of 2.95207 billion won in building assets, including a building (159.65 square meters) in Geumho-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and a building (59.31 square meters) in Eujuro 1-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul. A parcel of land (202.40 square meters) in Bongcheon-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, under the spouse's name, was reported at 273.64 million won. All are at the same level as the previous disclosure.
Lee sold one of the apartments he owned amid a controversy over multiple homeownership last year, but it appears this has not yet been reflected in the latest listing.
Lee's deposits amount to 34.88534 billion won, up about 3.8 billion won from the previous disclosure. The size of the securities Lee holds is 397.05 million won, down by about 900 million won from the previous disclosure. At the time of his inauguration in Aug. last year, Lee sold 2,000 of his 7,150 shares in Rakur Pharmaceuticals and all 25 shares of Walt Disney. He continues to hold Apple (100 shares), On Holding (140 shares), Tesla (66 shares), and Lockheed Martin (20 shares). It was confirmed that he disposed of all his corporate bonds (1 billion won) and 33.63 million won out of 33.7 million won in unlisted stocks held at the time of his appointment.
In addition, he continues to hold three cars—Sonata, G80, and Genesis—in his own name, as well as 3,000 grams of 24K gold and 141 million won worth of jewelry owned by his spouse. The price of the gold Lee holds was 447.29 million won in Aug. last year, but rose to 605.6 million won at the end of last year. Lee was previously reported to have received a 40 billion won fee as compensation for winning the state damages suit over the "Guro farmland case."
