[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Jang Je-won, a member of the United Future Party, commented on the remarks made by Park Beom-gye of the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, "It seems our party member Yoon Hee-sook gave a speech that really hit the mark."

On the 1st, Jang posted on Facebook, "Park sunbae is making remarks uncharacteristic of him," adding, "When logic is lacking in politics, the easiest attack technique is 'hitting the messenger to dilute the message,' but for Park sunbae to use such a tactic is a bit much."

He continued, "Moreover, using aggressive words like 'landlord,' 'original,' and 'fabricated,'" adding, "Of course, those are techniques frequently enjoyed by that side."

Jang also pointed out the side effects of the 'Housing Lease Protection Act,' saying, "Instead of just denying, Yoon's calm and sincere speech without embellishment is why the public resonates strongly," and added, "As a senior lawmaker, encouraging the first speech filled with sincerity from a freshman lawmaker who has not been involved in politics regardless of party affiliation is something I feel Park Beom-gye should have done."

Earlier that morning, Park criticized Yoon's speech on his Facebook, saying, "He emphasized tenants, but he is not exactly the original. Until just before the National Assembly speech, he owned two houses and currently owns one while being a landlord," and added, "It’s a bit much to fabricate an image as if he has lived his whole life as a tenant with no means."

Previously, on the 30th of last month, Yoon delivered a 5-minute free speech at the National Assembly plenary session, raising critical opinions regarding the 'Three Lease Laws,' which became a hot topic.
