Cheong "Noh Young-min Chief's Jeonju Jeonse House, Contract for Moving Container Items"

Drawing a Line on Political Interpretations Such as Running for 2022 Chungbuk Governor Election... "Excessive Political Interpretation Is a Misunderstanding"

[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] The Blue House explained that Chief Presidential Secretary Noh Young-min's lease contract for a jeonse house in Cheongju, Chungbuk, was for moving belongings from a container. This drew a line under interpretations surrounding Noh's political moves.

A senior Blue House official told reporters on the 21st, "(Noh) sold his apartment in Cheongju and moved his belongings into a container. Since he could not leave them unattended, he signed a jeonse contract to move the belongings out of the container."

The senior Blue House official added, "Politically overinterpreting this seems to be a misunderstanding."

Previously, Noh had advised multi-homeowners at the level of Blue House secretaries and above to dispose of all houses except one. Noh sold both his Banpo apartment in Seoul and his apartment in Cheongju, becoming a homeowner without any property. Recently, various interpretations arose regarding Noh securing a jeonse house in Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju, his former electoral district.

Noh is considered a leading candidate of the ruling party for the upcoming Chungbuk gubernatorial election scheduled for June 2022. The fact that he secured a jeonse house in Cheongju led to interpretations that it was part of his preparation to run for governor. However, the Blue House clarified that it was for moving belongings from the container.
