[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kim Hye-min] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the United Future Party, criticized Democratic Party lawmaker Jin Seong-jun's remark that "house prices will not fall," saying, "This administration's hypocrisy is severe."

On the 17th, Joo met with reporters at the National Assembly main building and said, "What is the point of me speaking? (Lawmaker Jin) has worked at the Blue House and also served as the Deputy Mayor of Seoul," expressing his criticism.

He said, "Besides that, your (reporters') sensibility is dead. Should we just appoint a minister who says 'all policies are working well'?" and added, "If they are working but house prices keep rising, doesn't that just mean there is nothing more they can do?" directly criticizing Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Hyun-mi.

He continued, "Can we just leave such a person as minister?" and added, "(Reporters) should aim precisely when writing." The United Future Party had previously included in their top 10 agenda items, aligned with President Moon Jae-in's opening speech, a question about whether they intend to hold Minister Kim accountable for the failure of real estate policies.
