Won Hee-ryong: "President Moon, who gave the people 'hope torture,' must take responsibility for the jeonse crisis"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Won Hee-ryong, Governor of Jeju, urged that the president should take responsibility for the jeonse crisis, saying, "As jeonse disappears, the dream of ordinary people to own a home has also vanished."
On the 9th, Governor Won said through Facebook, "Now the president must take responsibility for the jeonse crisis."
He criticized, "Despite the government's 24th measure, the rapid rise in jeonse prices is forcing homeless ordinary people to become jeonse nomads," adding, "Seoul's jeonse prices have been rising for 71 consecutive weeks, and jeonse prices in Suwon, Seongnam, and Gwacheon in Gyeonggi Province have also exceeded 1 billion won."
Governor Won pointed out, "The procession of jeonse refugees is continuing from Seoul to Gyeonggi Province in search of cheaper jeonse houses," and "They have been driven into becoming untimely jeonse refugees, distancing themselves from education and jobs."
He continued, "Looking at the government's real estate measures, I worry about what other side effects might appear," and added, "The three lease laws must be completely revised and excessive jeonse regulations should be lifted."

Now the president must take responsibility for the jeonse crisis."
