(Channel A Report on the Increase in National Liabilities)

As early as 2018, half of the national liabilities were the accrued pension

liabilities of the Government Employees Pension and the Military Pension.

After rejecting

National Pension reform

on the grounds that the public dislikes it,

the government said it would hire

175,000 more civil servants.

The 2025 deficit subsidy for the Government Employees Pension

of 10 trillion won is

merely a temporary optical illusion

created by the contributions paid by the civil servants

whose ranks the Moon Jae-in administration greatly expanded.

Only when it is assumed that the 175,000 civil

servants additionally appointed under the

Moon Jae-in administration are not

paying contributions now,

and the deficit subsidy for the Government Employees Pension

is calculated on that basis,

will the reality of the 2015

Government Employees Pension overhaul be

starkly revealed.
