[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] A senior Blue House official explained to reporters on the 17th regarding President Moon Jae-in's remark on 'clearing real estate deep-rooted evils,' saying, "If there is a diseased part, it is proper to cut it out, and the President used the expression of clearing deep-rooted evils with the meaning of breaking the chain of real estate deep-rooted evils in that spirit."

The senior Blue House official said, "There seems to be some confusion about the term 'deep-rooted evils' in clearing real estate deep-rooted evils, but what I want to make clear is that clearing deep-rooted evils is not about people but about correcting long-standing wrong practices and culture.
