He explained, “I am the grandson, so I have a lot of property inherited from my ancestors.” Candidate Lee said about owning real estate in a place unrelated to the place where he is running, “We are from Daejeon, so we have a ancestral home in Daejeon, a house that our grandmother passed down, and we have a lot of them. “Then should I run for Daejeon?” he countered.

Candidate Lee appeared on CBS Radio on this day. <김현정의 뉴스쇼>Kim Jun-hyuk, Suwonjeong candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, said, “Candidate Lee has total assets of 8.55 billion won and owns 4 apartments and 3 shops in Seoul with his spouse. When asked, “If you own so much real estate in Seoul, you would run for Gangnam, I am curious as to why you ran for office in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province.”

Candidate Lee said, “My spouse and I have worked very faithfully in our profession for over 25 years, and my spouse has worked for almost 30 years.” He added, “My spouse is currently working as a partner at a lawyer law firm, and as he is the grandson of the Jeonju Lee clan, he has been working in the profession for over 30 years.” There are also many assets. “My father also gave her the house she lived in after her mother passed away,” he explained. He said, “Also, in Daejeon, various properties of grandmothers and grandfathers are currently being inherited,” and “Isn’t there a sufficient explanation for the spouse’s assets?”

Candidate Lee also said, “Regarding my property, the house I currently live in and the house I owned for 30 years for redevelopment have actually all been destroyed.” He added, “The house with 1/2 of my name on it has been destroyed.” “If there is a new renovation, I plan to move there and sell the house I currently live in,” he said. He added, “There are two houses that I saved up with my own ability, and one house is currently destroyed for redevelopment.”

Candidate Lee said, “If you read our assets more closely, we have them in Gangnam, but also in Daejeon. Since we are from Daejeon, we have a ancestral home in Daejeon, a house passed down to us from our grandmother, and many other things. So, should I run in Daejeon? “He countered. Regarding his candidacy, candidate Lee said, “I know Suwon well,” and claimed, “Because I am a person who has been following incidents and accidents in the Suwon area for 25 years.”
