Gominjeong: "Don't Know the Location of Naegok-dong Land? Oh, Lies Again... Even Published Lot Number in Official Gazette"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Go Min-jung, a Democratic Party lawmaker and spokesperson for Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party candidate for Seoul mayor, criticized Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate, who claimed he "does not even know the location of the Naegok-dong land," saying, "He is lying again."

On the 16th, Go issued a statement saying, "Oh said on Facebook today, 'At that time, I did not know the existence or location of this land, and I still do not know its location,' but this is also a lie," pointing out, "The land lot number is clearly published in the official gazette, which anyone in the public can see."

On the same day, Oh reiterated through social media that the allegations of speculative land investment in Naegok-dong raised by Park's camp were "false information."

Oh explained, "The Naegok-dong land was inherited by my wife and her family in 1970 upon the death of my father-in-law, and they have owned it for a long time," adding, "Discussions regarding the designation of the district had been underway even before I took office as mayor in July 2006."

He continued, "At that time, I did not know the existence or location of this land, and I still do not know its location," and warned, "If the Seoul mayoral election is polluted by outdated dirty election tactics, I will respond with a zero-tolerance principle not only toward lawmakers Cheon Jun-ho and Go Min-jung but also toward candidate Park Young-sun."

However, Go directly refuted Oh's explanation, saying, "The land lot number is published in the official gazette, which anyone in the public can see."

Go emphasized, "Continuous false explanations only lead to more lies," and warned, "Be aware that today's explanation will become an even bigger tsunami."
