[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 24th, the People’s Party criticized Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae’s statement that “after ordinary housewives, even the younger generation has joined the speculative frenzy, and speculative sentiment has spread socially like an epidemic,” saying, “Minister Choo has once again jumped into a reckless rant,” and added, “Is it really sane to blame the soaring housing prices not on the 23 times of failed real estate policies, but on the speculative mentality of innocent housewives and young people?”

People’s Party spokesperson Ahn Hye-jin said in a commentary on the same day, “The public, who are extremely sensitive due to the second wave of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), seem to have no energy left to respond to the irrational political games of the current Minister of Justice.”

Spokesperson Ahn pointed out, “Since being appointed as the head of the Ministry of Justice, she seems to have done nothing well except showing off her power, and since she is apparently very interested in real estate, the government, which is skilled in revolving-door personnel appointments, might as well send Minister Choo to be the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.”

Ahn added, “Minister Choo should carefully examine whether the background of her absurd remarks is that she is intoxicated by the media spotlight to the extent that she throws away reason and acts out of excessive and irrational greed, unknowingly making reckless moves. Before even the remaining reason and common sense disappear completely, she should first reflect on her actions and properly fulfill the role given to her.”

Ahn said, “If Minister Choo is not the current administration’s X-man, she should stop dividing people into ‘my side’ and ‘your side,’ inciting and splitting the public, and quickly build a dignified image as the head of the national judicial institution,” adding, “Although she avoided impeachment in the legislature, it may be difficult to avoid being pelted by the public.”
