There had been speculation in some political circles that the ruling party's floor leadership would propose the dismissal of the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport during their meeting with President Moon on that day, but no such remarks were made.

Regarding the real estate speculation allegations involving current and former employees of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), President Moon emphasized that a thorough investigation should come first and ordered Minister Byeon to respond strictly.

As President Moon has already stated, existing real estate supply measures such as the February 4th Plan must be pursued without wavering, and the Blue House explained that trust in the government's commitment to housing supply must be maintained.
