[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 23rd, Kim Eun-hye, a member of the People Power Party, responded to Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung's remark targeting her that "That's why he is called a burden to the people," saying, "I believe he will take the lead in creating a dignified political culture so as not to become a burden to Gyeonggi Province."

On the same day, Kim posted on Facebook, "I advise (Governor Lee) to calm down. This matter can be resolved once the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Gyeonggi Province verify the facts accurately," and disclosed a response document from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport stating that "there was no request for consultation on the funding plan from Gyeonggi Province."

Kim stated, "Also, I never said things like 'Why did you receive a funding plan when it was supposed to be consultation on actual demand verification, accusing false testimony?' or 'It was a review request from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, so why did you falsely testify that it was a consultation request?'" She added, "I did not point out minor issues of expression, nor did I maliciously distort or fabricate facts."

Kim pointed out, "If you recall whether Cha Dong-wook, then an advisor to Optimus, made related remarks to Governor Lee, it would be a straightforward matter to resolve."

On the same day, Governor Lee criticized Kim, saying, "They are maliciously distorting minor issues of expression and fabricating facts. It is disappointing," regarding the licensing issues of the Bonghyeon Logistics Complex project in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, which Optimus Asset Management was promoting.
