Jinseongjun on Controversy Over "House Prices Won't Fall"... United Party Calls It a "Drunken Truth-Like 'Debate Truth'"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding Jin Seong-jun, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, saying at the end of MBC's 100-Minute Debate that "house prices will not fall," the United Future Party launched an offensive, calling it a "drunken confession-like debate remark."
Kim Eun-hye, spokesperson for the United Future Party, pointed this out in a verbal commentary on the 17th, saying, "We have confirmed the two faces of the Moon Jae-in government."
Spokesperson Kim said, "An honest confession is better than incompetence," and criticized, "Real estate policies that only hurt the people, please stop them now."
Hwang Gyu-hwan, deputy spokesperson for the United Future Party, also commented, "It is a self-confession by a ruling party member that is neither laughable nor tearful," and criticized, "No matter how much hypocrisy and double standards are the specialties of the government and ruling party, if they had even a little consideration for the suffering common people, they should not have handled real estate policies like that."
Deputy Spokesperson Hwang added, "It is hard to believe that Jin's remark came from a ruling party member of the National Land Committee who insisted throughout the debate that the 'July 10 real estate measures are a fundamental remedy,'" and said, "Unless Jin suddenly made a candid statement to criticize the president who claimed to be confident only about real estate, the government and ruling party have ultimately confessed that they neither can nor intend to control house prices."

He pointed out, "From the Democratic Party's perspective, Jin, who revealed their true intentions, might be considered an 'X-Man,' but the people cannot help but be angry at the irresponsible fact that all the measures so far were empty words," and added, "Now that the people have come to know the government and ruling party's true intentions, they do not know whether to laugh, feeling it is at least fortunate, or to cry blaming the hypocritical and incompetent government and ruling party."
