Former Democratic Party lawmaker Yang Yi-won-yeong has withdrawn his application to become a non-executive director at Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP). The decision comes after concerns were raised regarding a potential conflict of interest with his support for Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) technology. Yang reportedly determined the roles overlapped, prompting his withdrawal from consideration. He had previously been considered a candidate for the KHNP board position. This development follows scrutiny of potential conflicts arising from his involvement with both energy-related entities. The withdrawal aims to avoid any perceived impropriety or complications. Further details regarding the selection process for the KHNP board position have not yet been released.
