[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party criticized Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Hyun-mi's remark blaming the supply shortage by saying, "If apartments were bread, I would stay up all night to make them," calling it a 'disembodied reasoning.'

On the 30th, Kim Ye-ryeong, spokesperson for the People Power Party, pointed out in a verbal comment, "People are troubled day by day due to housing issues, but to say 'If apartments were bread, I would stay up all night to make them' is disembodied reasoning that only elicits a hollow laugh."

She said, "Just five months ago, when announcing the July 10 measures, Minister Kim said, 'Housing supply is sufficient, and the cause of the real estate crisis is multi-homeowners,'" adding, "Now, after 24 measures, as the people's suffering only increases, Minister Kim has quietly backed down."

Spokesperson Kim criticized the government and ruling party, saying, "But even then, she blames the previous administration for reducing permits, shifting the blame again," and "The ruling party's Land Committee chairman blamed the people for having illusions about apartments, the Minister of Land blames the low interest rate trend, market liquidity, and multi-homeowners. On top of that, even after three and a half years, they still blame the previous administration. I don't know what shame they have."

She added, "What exactly has the Ministry of Land been doing all this time?" and "I want to ask if they mean that villas or hotels can be quickly turned into decent housing like bread."

Spokesperson Kim requested, "It is none other than this administration that quickly rolled out 24 measures like freshly baked bread," and "Despite dozens of requests for replacement, the Blue House remains silent. I reiterate the call for Minister Kim's replacement."
