[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Lim Chun-han] Han Mu-kyung, a member of the Future United Party, criticized the ruling party's increasing voices against the message from fellow party member Yoon Hee-sook regarding the three lease laws, saying, "Since no error can be found in the message, are they indiscriminately attacking the messenger?"


On the 4th, during a 5-minute free speech at the National Assembly plenary session, Representative Han said, "Yoon pointed to the moon with her finger, but they are attacking whether the finger is bent or if there is dust on it."


This was in response to criticism from Park Beom-gye and Yoon Joon-byung of the Democratic Party of Korea, who made remarks such as "two-homeowners until the speech" and "monthly rent is not bad" after Yoon's statement.


Representative Han said, "Does that statement mean it struck at the bone of the Democratic Party and the ruling forces, or did they just want to find faults somehow? If politicians have a mission to follow the public interest, they should find falsehoods and errors in the message. Since no error can be found in the message, are they indiscriminately attacking the messenger?"


He added, "Everyone knows that our people prefer jeonse (long-term lease) over monthly rent. Starting with monthly rent in newlywed years, saving a large sum, living in jeonse, educating children with difficulty, and practicing frugality to own a home is the lifelong dream pattern. However, due to the laws handled by the Democratic Party, the jeonse supply has shrunk, and the ladder of hope is about to be cut off."


Representative Han said, "I hope the Moon Jae-in administration does well. I sincerely wish for its success. There is a saying, '권불십년화무십일홍 (權不十年花無十日紅)' ? no power lasts ten years, no flower blooms for ten days. One must be humble."



He continued, "The past Liberty Korea Party (the predecessor of the Future United Party) was arrogant and complacent. It lacked communication, had poor empathy, and was intoxicated by a 30% concrete support rate. The biggest beneficiary of the downfall of the right-wing government is the Moon administration and the Democratic Party. The people are now reflecting. Is the present truly better than back then?"
