[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Lee Nak-yeon, the Standing Election Committee Chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, expressed concerns on the 15th regarding the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) scandal, saying, "I am somewhat worried that the media may continue to expose individual cases in the future," and added, "This could lead to a vicious cycle where we constantly have to follow up and put out fires."

At the afternoon members' meeting, Lee stated, "How about proactively casting a wide net to uncover and eliminate places with potential corruption?" He proposed this to the party. He also added, "We need to take a look at local governments and local development corporations, as well as those registered as agricultural management entities receiving direct payments."

He further said, "This should not be seen as deflecting blame, but I think it would be good to encourage educators and media personnel, who are subject to the Kim Young-ran Act even if they are not public officials, to participate in this movement."

Regarding the April 7 by-elections, Lee requested, "The opposition seems to believe they have an opportunity and will focus on aerial warfare, but we should leave the aerial warfare to Yeouido and concentrate on infantry warfare with the members of the National Assembly and myself." He also mentioned, "We conducted a campaign to find Seoul voters' acquaintances, and Representative Min Byung-duk came in first," urging other members to join the effort.
