배우 백일섭(69)이 최근 민주당 측이 제기한 한국관광공사 비상임이사 취임 후 부당한 수당을 챙겼다는 의혹을 부정했다.
백일섭은 24일 민주당이 제기한 7700여만원의 부당수익에 대해 한달에 200만원을 받았고 1년 정도 비상임이사를 역임했기 때문에 그렇게 많이 받았을 리가 없다고 밝혔다. 또한 별도 회의비는 없다고 말했다.
백일섭은 녹화시간과 겹쳐 월1회 열리는 이사회 회의에 불참석했다며 회의 참석 외에 별도로 하는 일도 없어 사임 의사를 전했지만 받아들여지지 않았다고 말했다.
이날 민주당 유은혜 의원은 보도자료를 통해 “2010년 11월 한국관광공사 비상임이사로 취임한 탤런트 백모씨가 2012년 3월 이후 현재까지 단 한 차례도 회의에 참석하지 않고도 월정액과 회의비를 포함, 총 7746만원을 받아갔다”고 밝혔다.
한편, 백일섭은 최근 방송된 케이블채널 tvN ‘꽃보다 할배’ 유럽편과 대만편에 출연해 관심을 받았다.

Senior actor in hot water over pay at tourism agency
Veteran actor Baek Il-seob came under fire on Wednesday for allegedly lining his pockets in the name of working for the Korea Tourism Organization as a nonexecutive director.
The main opposition Democratic Party claimed that Baek got away with 77.4 million won ($71,800) in monthly pay and meeting expenses even though he did not attend a single meeting at the KTO since 2012.
The 69-year-old actor strongly denied any wrongdoing.
“It is a false accusation. It is impossible to take 77 million won on a fixed salary of 2 million won per month. There was no extra pay for attending meetings,” he told local media.
“I could not attend the meetings due to my acting schedule,” Baek said. “I had intended to quit but my proposal was not accepted by the KTO.”
KTO, in charge of promoting the country’s tourism industry for overseas travelers, is 285 billion won in debt, according to the DP.
Baek recently gained popularity as he was one of the four senior actors in “Ggotboda Halbae (Gramps over Flowers),” a cable TV program.
