[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the United Future Party, stated on the 10th regarding the 4th supplementary budget (supplementary budget), "The scale of the flood damage is so large that I think we cannot avoid making a supplementary budget to cover it all."

Chairman Kim said this during a meeting with reporters immediately after the emergency committee meeting, adding, "I think there is not much budget left because too much money has been spent so far."

Regarding the controversy over the Four Major Rivers Project, Chairman Kim explained, "There have been many discussions about the Four Major Rivers Project itself, but after experiencing this flood, I cannot help but think that excluding the Seomjin River was a wrong decision."

Chairman Kim stated, "If we verify the overall landslides related to this flood, it will become clear whether there is a problem with solar power," and added, "We can think about how to handle the issue then." Earlier, Chairman Kim mentioned, "Recently, many landslides have occurred along with heavy rains, and there are criticisms about the reckless development of solar power facilities."
