[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Park Hyung-jun, a candidate running for the Busan mayoral by-election from the People Power Party, held a press conference on the afternoon of the 15th and stated, “Currently, I am a one-household one-home owner,” adding, “The LCT apartment where I reside has no connection whatsoever to preferential allocation corruption, and it was purchased through a legitimate sale in April last year.”

Regarding his daughter also living in LCT, Candidate Park explained, “My daughter’s husband is a businessman, and they sold their nearby Haeundae Centum apartment where they used to live, took out a loan, and bought the pre-sale rights to move into their own home.”

On allegations related to his daughter’s college entrance, he called them ‘black propaganda’ and firmly stated, “My daughter has never taken the Hongdae entrance exam, my spouse has never made any improper requests, and I have even less reason to be involved in the Hongdae entrance exam corruption case.”

Candidate Park said, “Raising ‘blind allegations’ without any basis or fact-checking is typical black propaganda and a despicable election tactic,” adding, “I will firmly fight back and at the same time do my best until the end to ensure this election becomes a clean, fair, and policy-focused election that citizens desire.”

Choi In-ho, senior spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Korea, raised suspicions at the Central Election Committee meeting on the 15th, stating, “Candidate Park Hyung-jun and his family seem like a never-drying spring of various misconducts,” and questioned, “Following allegations of his children’s entrance exam corruption and preferential hiring, today it was revealed that his wife and immediate family own two LCT units, raising many questions.”
