[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jeong Jin-seok, a senior member of the United Future Party who sparked controversy by telling President Moon Jae-in to "stop around here," has now criticized the government's supply of rental apartments and attempts to dismantle the Four Major Rivers Project, asking, "Why is it so weak?"

On the 9th, Jeong said on Facebook, "A regime ending in 2022 announced real estate policies without even securing land or consulting with local governments. Which market participant would trust such a policy?"

He questioned, "Why must the government supply rental apartments on the public side again?" and added, "Ruling party lawmakers and district heads in Mapo-gu and Nowon-gu, Seoul, are opposing why more rental apartments are being built in their areas. Are rental apartments some kind of stigmatized facilities?"

Jeong stated, "Donald Trump's father and Trump himself engaged in rental apartment businesses in poor neighborhoods like Brooklyn and the Bronx in New York," and criticized, "Why don't we consider building one million rental apartments constructed by Samsung Construction and Hyundai Construction but operated privately? Is it because it contradicts the regime's fundamental principle that 'profiting from real estate is a criminal act'?"

He continued, "In the 1960s and 1970s, the great era of development, when 2 million housing units were planned and executed, has the lineage of South Korea's economic bureaucrats been completely severed?" He also pointed out to Deputy Prime Minister for Economy Hong Nam-ki and economic bureaucrats, "Aren't you ashamed in front of the senior economic bureaucrats who brought South Korea this far?"

Regarding recent floods, he remarked, "If the Four Major Rivers Project had been expanded to tributaries and streams after its completion, wouldn't the current flood damage have been better defended?" He criticized, "The Moon Jae-in government is still fiercely determined to break the weirs installed in the Four Major Rivers. It's truly outrageous and heartbreaking."

He said, "In the three years of the Moon Jae-in government, what remains in memory is only purging deep-rooted evils and blaming the previous administration," adding, "Later, the public will evaluate that the Moon Jae-in regime was all noise but its management of the country's affairs and policy execution were too weak and insignificant."

Earlier, Jeong raised his voice on Facebook toward President Moon, saying, "Stop around here. That is the best way to prepare for the president's post-retirement." In response, Park Ju-min, a candidate for the Democratic Party leadership, reacted, "Watch your words. Are you threatening the president?"
