[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Hyun-mi, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said on the 23rd, "I feel sorry for the concerns many young people and market participants have due to rising house prices," adding, "To resolve these concerns, legal and institutional measures must be fully established to recover speculative profits related to housing."

Minister Kim made these remarks during the economic sector question session at the National Assembly in the afternoon, responding to Rep. Yoon Young-seok of the United Future Party's criticism that "there are rumors that if people had not listened to Minister Kim, they could have easily earned several hundred million won."

When asked whether she would take responsibility and resign due to the real estate issues not being resolved at all, she stated, "I am absolutely not attached to my position nor greedy."
