The scandal saw Kangwon Land, the only Korean casino at which locals are allowed to gamble, illegally hire hundreds of staff via political and internal connections between November 2012 and April 2013, ultimately resulting in the company’s then CEO, Choi Hung-jib, being jailed for three years. This latest ruling relates to 21 applicants identified as having missed out on an opportunity for employment at Kangwon Land as a result of the scandal. The ruling comes two months after Choi Hung-jib, who was originally convicted in January 2019 before launching an appeal, was found guilty by the 2nd Criminal Division of the Chuncheon District Court of instructing officials to adjust job assessments to ensure candidates linked to high- profile politicians would be hired for positions at Kangwon Land. 韓國當地法院 已命令韓國江原樂園向21名 在2012-2013年間招聘醜聞的受害者每人 支付300萬韓元（2500美元）到800萬韓元 （6,750美元）的賠償。 2012年11月至2013年4月期間，韓國唯 一一家允許當地人賭博的賭場江原樂園的前 任CEO因涉嫌通過政治和內部關係非法僱用 數百名員工而被定罪，被判入獄三年。 這一判決涉及21名因醜聞錯過在江原樂 園就業的申請人。 Choi Hung-jib早已在2019年1月被定 罪，其後曾在2個月前上訴，但隨後被春川 地方法院第二刑事庭宣判其在「指示官員調 整工作評估，以確保與知名政客有聯繫的候 選人將受僱於江原樂園的職位」一事上罪行 成立。
