Park Beom-gye "Strange Accent Not Meant to Belittle Dialects" Explanation... Renewed Offensive Against Yoon Hee-sook View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] On the 2nd, Park Beom-gye, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, clarified that the "strange intonation" he mentioned while criticizing Yoon Hee-sook, a member of the Future United Party, during a plenary session speech was "not an expression mocking a specific regional dialect."


Park stated on his Facebook that day, "I pointed out the agitated tone used when attacking the government and ruling party, but since it was unrelated to the message and inappropriate, I deleted it."


The previous day, Park had written on Facebook that Yoon's speech had a "strange intonation without glaring eyes," but he has since removed that part.


Regarding being attacked as a "three-homeowner," Park said, "I am indeed a two-homeowner and own one commercial property. The disposal process is currently underway. My wife inherited it."


He explained, "I sold the apartment in Seocho-dong, Seoul, for 600 million won immediately after being elected as a National Assembly member in Daejeon 12 years ago (current market price is 2 billion won). I lived in a jeonse lease in Daejeon for a long time and recently purchased an apartment. That's why I became a two-homeowner."


Park defined Yoon's remarks as "saying that the state should compensate landlords," and continued his offensive, saying, "Ultimately, what she wanted to say was about landlords."



Park criticized, "Did she want to say that the government should compensate the difference that landlords cannot raise rent as much as they want?" and added, "Yoon emphasized at the beginning of her speech that she is a tenant and her hardships, but she called for protecting landlords."
