On the 18th, Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung, a candidate for the Democratic Party’s presidential election, attended the National Assembly audit of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government as governor of Gyeonggi Province. Regarding the suspicion of preferential treatment for the Daejang-dong development project, Candidate Lee pointed out that “in conclusion, those who shared stolen goods and received money are thieves and criminals.” Regarding Kim Man-bae, the major shareholder of Hwacheon Daeyu, the key figure in the allegation, he said, “I am not a person I know.” However, as a person in charge of personnel management, I deeply apologize for the allegations that some of the public officials involved were contaminated and that private business operators were colluding.
Candidate Lee met with reporters on the way to the Gyeonggi Provincial Office, where the National Assembly’s Administrative Safety Committee was held, and said, “I tried to stop all thieves from stealing. The essence of this case was that it was only half successful and only recovered. All unearned income from the exercise of licenses entrusted by the people should belong to the people,” he said.
Candidate Lee also said, “I tried to recover the unearned income development gains as much as possible, but it is regrettable that it did not fully recover whether it was a systemic problem or an organizational obstruction of the people’s power.”
Candidate Lee Dong-gyu, the former head of the planning division of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, apologized as the person with the right to personnel authority for the arrest. He said, “I still can’t believe it, but when the state agency investigated it, the court even arrested him because the possibility of collusion was high, so there must be something wrong,” he said. Candidate Lee said, “If (the allegation) is true, once again, as a personnel authority, I apologize for not being 100% in managing staff.”
At the same time, Candidate Lee re-emphasized the original claim that the essence of the Daejang-dong project was to make the most of the public interest under the given conditions despite the opposition’s interference.
Candidate Lee said, “Even though development profits have risen now (the private sector’s share) is about 400 billion won, and what Seongnam City has recovered will be close to 700 billion won in present value. close to billions of dollars Seongnam City has a lot to do with 6 to 4,” he claimed.
Candidate Lee said, “I am not familiar with the relationship with Kim Man-bae, the major shareholder of Hwacheon Daeyu.
