[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] On the 15th, Park Jin, a member of the People Power Party, condemned the criticism surrounding the land speculation allegations involving employees of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), stating, "The Moon Jae-in administration, which shattered the people's dream of owning a home, must reflect and offer a profound apology."

On the same day, Park stated on his Facebook, "Which citizen can trust and rely on a government that deprives the people's opportunities, keeps processes secretive, and produces unfair outcomes?"

Park pointed out, "This LH incident is the epitome of the Moon Jae-in administration's misrule and corruption," adding, "The Moon administration issued 25 patchwork real estate measures under the pretext of clearing deep-rooted evils and establishing a transparent and fair real estate transaction order, yet the annual apartment price increase rate in Seoul is rising 12 times faster than during the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations."

He continued, "While the skyrocketing real estate prices leave the people in despair, public officials, including those at LH who should serve the people, instead plundered and mocked the people's property," criticizing, "This incident has finally exposed the real estate investment methods of the vested interests under this administration."

He also pointed out, "President Moon, who harshly criticized former President Lee Myung-bak's private residence land as 'greed' and 'avarice,' insulted the people with crude remarks like 'petty and embarrassing' when suspicions were raised about his own property," calling it "a typical case of double standards."

Park said, "The Moon Jae-in administration and the ruling party, cornered by the snowballing incident, are not thinking about reflection or taking responsibility but are only scheming to shift blame to the previous administration," questioning, "Is this the fair and just society President Moon promised in his inaugural speech?"

In conclusion, Park emphasized, "President Moon must reflect on this incident, thoroughly investigate the truth, offer a profound apology to the people, and severely punish those responsible."
