[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Park Hyung-jun, the People Power Party candidate for Busan mayor, stated on the 15th that he is "completely unrelated" to the preferential apartment sale corruption at the LCT apartments. Regarding the allegations about his daughter's college entrance, he said she never took the entrance exam for the school in question.

On the same day, Park said, "The LCT apartment where I live has nothing to do with the preferential sale corruption," adding, "I purchased the LCT through a legitimate transaction in April 2020." He also revealed that he owns only one house.

He continued, "My daughter’s husband is a businessman, and they sold their Centum apartment, took out a loan, and bought the pre-sale rights to move in," he explained.

He also said, "There is a smear campaign related to my daughter's college entrance," adding, "My daughter never took the entrance exam for Hongdae, and my spouse has never made any improper requests." Park added, "I have filed a complaint with the prosecution regarding this issue."

Park criticized, "Can the Democratic Party, which keeps fabricating false information, still be called a legitimate political party?" He pointed out, "Raising 'blind suspicion' is a typical smear campaign and a despicable election tactic."
