What the document holds
ACRC press release of 28 Jan 2021 on rewards paid in 2020 (HTML page; the .hwp attachment has the same text). Programme content: rewards, awards and relief paid in 2020 to 226 people (KRW 5.53 billion; corruption 3.87 billion, public interest 1.66 billion) and revenue recovered (KRW 7.12 billion), all already in the data; corruption rewards by type of report (7 rows, with totals) and public-interest rewards by area (6 rows, with totals); 3 corruption reward cases (a 4th, KRW 763.82 million, is already in the data), 2 Graft Act award cases, 4 public-interest reward cases, 2 award cases and 1 relief payment; 'largest ever' remark (already an event). Table row shares (percent) not recorded: they restate the counts. Text sentences repeating the largest table rows (79 cases; 17억 7천여만 원) not recorded twice. Both tables add up to their printed totals. Korean amounts: 억 = 100,000,000 and 만 = 10,000. A figure printed with 억 only is recorded in 억 (scale 'hundred million', e.g. 1.6억 = 1.6); one printed with 억 plus 천만/만 (e.g. 2억8천여만) is recorded in units of 만 원 (scale 'ten thousand': 2억8천만 = 28000), as earlier Korean rows do.
