[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former People Power Party lawmaker Yoo Seung-min stated on the 18th that regarding Land, Infrastructure and Transport Minister nominee Byeon Chang-heum's past comment on the ‘Guui Station accident’ that “If only (the accident victim) had been cared for, nothing would have happened,” “Although I have little expectation when looking at President Moon Jae-in's ministerial appointments, it is obviously right to cancel the appointment even now.”

Former lawmaker Yoo said on Facebook that day, “Did President Moon really nominate such a person who shows no minimum consideration or respect for human dignity and the value of life as the nominee for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport?” and added, “Was the president's statement that people come first all a lie?”

He criticized, “There was no basic verification in the appointment,” and “Or does it mean that as long as the nominee fits President Moon's public rental housing code, such remarks are no problem at all?”

Former lawmaker Yoo said, “After all, the nominee had a conversation with the president a week ago at the public rental showroom, saying ‘A family of four and a pet dog can live in a 13-pyeong public rental’ and ‘Even without owning an apartment, we will create a housing ladder through public rental housing,’ so the public rental housing code is definitely confirmed.”
