[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 17th, Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, regarding the allegations of preferential military service for the son of Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, stated, “Minister Choo should quickly settle her personal matters instead of coming out again today (for the government questioning) and sticking to excuses,” and added, “If that does not happen, I urge President Moon Jae-in to dismiss her.”

At the emergency committee meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Floor Leader Joo said, “The Ministry of National Defense, which is supposed to protect the country, has become the ‘Choo Ministry’ protecting Minister Choo, and the ‘Seo Military Unit’ protecting Private Seo, damaging the military’s trust,” and “The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission has fallen into a ‘Regime Rights Commission.’”

Floor Leader Joo emphasized, “Building trust in national institutions is truly difficult,” and said, “We must not neglect the reality where three important national institutions under the president’s command are losing trust to protect a single individual.”

Regarding the three lease laws, Floor Leader Joo said, “Two months have passed since the laws were passed. It has only increased confusion. The supply of jeonse (long-term deposit rental) has sharply decreased, and jeonse prices have skyrocketed,” and criticized, “It is problematic not only that the laws, which do not align with market principles, were made and rushed through, but also that the management of subsequent procedures is poor.”

Floor Leader Joo proposed, “I suggest creating a special committee in the National Assembly to improve the real estate monthly and yearly rental system,” and said, “If the ruling party does not accept it, we will form it at our party level and vividly reveal what is happening on the ground.”
