[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The property of Yoon Hee-sook, a member of the Future United Party who gained attention through a 5-minute speech in the National Assembly in July claiming "I am a tenant," has been revealed to amount to 1,278,710,000 KRW.
According to the asset registration disclosed on the 28th by the National Assembly Public Officials Ethics Committee under Article 10, Paragraph 1 of the Public Officials Ethics Act, Yoon owned two houses until the end of May: an apartment in Donam-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul (330,000,000 KRW), an apartment in Areum-dong, Sejong City (217,000,000 KRW), and a jeonse lease right for an apartment in Bangbae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul (700,000,000 KRW).
Yoon later sold the house in Sejong City and currently owns one house. On the 29th of last month, she stated on Facebook, "I sold the house in Sejong City. When civic groups and some media began to argue in early July that multi-homeowners should not participate in the Budget and Accounts Committee activities, I immediately put the house up for sale," adding, "I did not want to give any unnecessary pretext while participating in the Budget and Accounts Committee activities."
