[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, stated on the 17th that he has a "similar opinion" regarding Joo Ho-young, the floor leader, demanding an audit by the Board of Audit and Inspection if the Busan Gimhae New Airport plan is scrapped and the Gadeokdo New Airport is pursued.

After the entrance ceremony of the 3rd Women's Political Academy held at the Yeouido party headquarters on the same day, Kim told reporters, "I don't know if there is a special political purpose, but I think the government lacks policy consistency," and added, "I don't think it is right to select national projects in that manner." Earlier, Floor Leader Joo had stated at a party meeting that he would demand an audit by the Board of Audit and Inspection if the Busan Gimhae New Airport plan is scrapped and the Gadeokdo New Airport is pursued.

Regarding voices suggesting that former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min and former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon should lower their rank to run for Seoul mayor, Kim said, "That is a matter for them to decide."

On the Serious Accident Punishment Act, Kim said, "I think it is natural to hold responsibility when there are casualties in serious accidents, but many small and medium-sized enterprises have owners who also serve as presidents," adding, "I believe various aspects will be reviewed and solutions will be found during the legislative process."
