[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 19th, Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, criticized the government's measures to address the jeonse housing crisis announced that day, raising his voice to Hong Nam-ki, Deputy Prime Minister for Economy and Finance, asking, "Would you be willing to move into a hotel jeonse house first?"

On the same day, Ha said on Facebook, "They disguised the 'hotel jeonse house,' which was criticized by the public, as a 'lodging business jeonse house' and announced it as is," criticizing the measure.

He added, "Furthermore, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Hyun-mi said yesterday that 'hotel jeonse and monthly rent are receiving a good response,' which is completely opposite to the public perception," and pointed out, "If so, I want to ask Deputy Prime Minister Hong, who is struggling because of jeonse houses, whether he is willing to move into a hotel jeonse house first."

Ha emphasized, "The reason the government's measures have become such a mess is because the fundamental diagnosis is wrong," and stated, "They are self-praising that the lease renewal rate has increased compared to before regarding the three lease laws, which are the cause of the rapid rise in jeonse prices."

He said, "Is it sane to boast when they should be apologizing profusely to the people who are struggling to find jeonse houses due to the three lease laws?" and added, "They are hiding the reality that even those who renewed their contracts now will suffer from a tremendous increase in jeonse prices after two years. The current confusion can only be reduced by fundamentally changing the government's wrong real estate policies, including the three lease laws."
