Yeo Presidential Candidate Launches Fierce Attack on Yoon Camp with 'Five Real Estate Evils', Urges 'Disband and Go Home'

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Among the 12 members of the People Power Party pointed out by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission for suspected real estate speculation, it has been reported that 5 are included in former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's presidential campaign, prompting ruling party presidential candidates to launch fierce attacks against Yoon's camp.

On the 24th, Representative Kim Du-kwan wrote on Facebook, "What is the reason that the Yoon Seok-yeol faction overwhelmingly dominates among the suspected speculation lawmakers?" He evaluated, "A realistic case has finally emerged proving that the forces that should disappear for fairness and justice have hidden behind Yoon Seok-yeol, who wears the mask of fairness and justice and gets tangled up when speaking more than three sentences, knowing nothing."

Representative Kim criticized Song Seok-jun, head of the Real Estate Policy Headquarters in Yoon's campaign, saying he should be called the "Head of Real Estate Speculation." He also sarcastically said that Ahn Byung-gil, head of the Public Relations Headquarters, should be called the "Head of Defense for Real Estate Speculation Allegation Reports," Han Mu-gyeong, head of the Industrial Policy Headquarters, the "Real Estate Speculation Industrial Policy Headquarters Head," Lee Cheol-gyu, head of the Organization Headquarters, the "Supporter Speculation Encouragement Headquarters Head," and Jeong Chan-min, head of the National Communication Headquarters, the "Head Announcing Absolute Absence of Real Estate Speculation." He added, "Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol should apologize to the public, disband the campaign, and go home."

The camp of former leader Lee Nak-yeon also issued a statement targeting Yoon's camp.

Lee's campaign spokesperson Lee Byung-hoon released a statement titled "Yoon Seok-yeol Candidate Should Consider Changing the Signboard to a Fly-by-Night Business," criticizing, "This is not a matter that can be ignored and resolved like the speculation allegations involving his mother-in-law, whose truth has not yet been revealed."

The spokesperson said, "Among the People Power Party's 'Real Estate Twelve' (12 members), five hold key positions in Yoon Seok-yeol's campaign," adding, "With the possession of the 'Real Estate Five Brothers,' Yoon Seok-yeol's campaign has been revealed to be composed of a pool of real estate experts comparable to a comprehensive real estate company." He then recalled, "Candidate Yoon said, 'Real estate speculation is a ruinous crime,' and 'Regardless of friend or foe, severe punishment should be shown to the whole world,'" emphasizing, "He must take measures equivalent to 'severe punishment' against the lawmakers affiliated with his campaign, as he said himself."
