[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] After a Blue House petition calling for so-called 'Dachikin regulation,' a satirical critique of the government's ongoing real estate policies targeting multi-homeowners, was made private, the same petitioner has posted again in the form of a memorial appeal.


On the 16th, a petition titled "A Memorial Appeal Humbly Submitted by the Petitioner Advocating for Dachikin Regulation" was posted on the Blue House petition board.


In the post, the petitioner said, "Did my recent harsh memorial appeal for Dachikin regulation, written with a heart full of patriotic loyalty and soaked deeply with two jars of Makgeolli, cause you distress?" and asked, "Is that why the officials made it private?"


He added, "Despite my shamelessness, I have revised and concealed the problematic parts and am submitting the petition again, hoping you will kindly consider it once more as the will of the people."


The petitioner then replaced the name of a specific chicken restaurant in the original petition with "○○○" and reposted the same content.


Previously, on the 14th, the petitioner had posted a petition titled "Please regulate the two-chicken set of multi-homeowner ○○○ in the chicken industry" on the Blue House petition board. In this post, the petitioner indirectly criticized the government's real estate regulation policies by comparing a restaurant selling two chickens as a set to multi-homeowners.

He sarcastically stated, "They take away the limited supply of raw chickens, raise the chicken market price, and give ordinary citizens, who can barely afford to order chicken once a month, a sense of relative deprivation," adding, "If they insist on selling two-chicken sets, then in cases of temporary two-chicken ownership, if one chicken is not finished within an hour after eating the other, impose a transfer tax penalty even on the cartilage." This post had received over 12,000 endorsements by the 15th.


However, on the 16th, the petition was made private by the board administrator. According to multiple media outlets including Yonhap News, the direct mention of a specific brand violated the board's posting rules. It is also reported that the company requested the Blue House to make the petition private.


Meanwhile, on the 10th, the government announced the so-called '7·10 Real Estate Measures,' which strengthen regulations on multi-homeowners and short-term transactions. The measures include significantly increasing real estate taxes, such as raising the comprehensive real estate tax rate up to 6% for those owning multiple homes.



President Moon Jae-in also expressed his determination to eradicate real estate speculation during the '21st National Assembly Opening Speech' held at the National Assembly plenary session on the 16th. He emphasized, "The top legislative task for people's livelihood right now is real estate measures," and stated, "I will make it clear that no more money can be made through real estate speculation."
