[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] The Democratic Party's proportional representation party, the Deobureo Citizen Party, announced on the 28th that it will expel Yang Jeong-suk, a member-elect of the National Assembly who is under suspicion of violating the real-name real estate system and property trust issues related to wealth accumulation, and will report her to the prosecution.


The Citizen Party stated that this decision was made as a result of the Ethics Committee meeting held at the Yeouido party headquarters on the same day.



Yang, the member-elect, has been suspected of using family members' names without permission and evading taxes during the process of wealth accumulation. Yang, a former lawyer, declared assets worth approximately 9.2 billion KRW to the National Election Commission when running in the 21st general election, an increase of about 4.3 billion KRW compared to four years ago.
