Look, let's be honest about the parliamentary audit of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee, where yet another glaring gap in the Game Rating and Administration Committee's random-item investigation system has been dragged into the light. With 25 percent—that is six out of 24—of the investigation staff missing in action, and the whole operation relying on short-term contract workers, building any sort of genuine expertise or continuity is basically a pipe dream.

Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Jun-ho Jung pointedly took aim at Game Rating and Administration Committee Chairman Tae-gun Seo during the parliamentary audit held on October 12, highlighting the gaping holes in how loot box probabilities are being scrutinized. Jun-ho Jung stated, "Just slapping probability rates on a screen isn't magically stopping the bleeding for players. When we checked the staffing numbers, out of 24 fixed-term investigator positions, only 18 are actually filled, leaving a shortage of six people, or about 25 percent of the total workforce. Sure, 12 dispatched workers are pitching in with basic counseling and intake, but let's be real—there's barely any personnel with accumulated investigative chops here."

Jun-ho Jung didn't stop there, adding, "When it comes to these fixed-term investigators, new hires have to be processed after contracts expire, and they can only start doing actual work after going through training. You get recruitment at the end of January, training in February, and actual deployment in March. This year, the inspection count for January plummeted to a paltry 128 cases, which is a dismal 10 percent of the February-to-December monthly average of 1,880 cases." It was a solid statistical smackdown showing how staff turnover directly tanks performance.

In response, Jun-ho Jung told Tae-gun Seo, "The numbers clearly show that a structure leaning entirely on short-term contracts simply cannot secure investigative expertise or operational continuity. We would appreciate it if you could draw up some concrete countermeasures to stably secure professional investigative staff and report back." Tae-gun Seo briefly replied, "We will make sure to do so."
