View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Kim Ki-hyun, a member of the People Power Party, on the 21st urged Heo Young, the spokesperson of the Democratic Party who raised allegations of land speculation against Seo Dong-wook, candidate for Ulsan Nam-gu Mayor, to resign, claiming that Heo spread false information.
Through social media (SNS), Rep. Kim said, "Spokesperson Heo suddenly spread groundless false information about me today," adding, "She claimed that the real estate near KTX Ulsan Station became a golden station area after a road was opened on a barren land during my tenure as mayor of Ulsan. It is truly absurd for a spokesperson of a political party to tell such ridiculous lies in broad daylight."
He pointed out, "During my tenure as mayor of Ulsan, there was neither a plan to open a road there nor was any road construction carried out. Even now, no road has been opened there, nor is there any sign of road construction starting. There are two steep mountains blocking the way between Ulsan Station and that area, and there is no connecting road to Ulsan Station, so it goes without saying that it is not a station area."
Rep. Kim demanded that "Spokesperson Heo, who raised reckless suspicions without verifying the facts, resign from her spokesperson position and apologize," and announced legal action.

On the same day, Spokesperson Heo, while raising suspicions about candidate Seo, said, "The citizens of Ulsan already remember the suspicion that People Power Party member Kim Ki-hyun obtained insider information about acquiring real estate near KTX Ulsan Station while serving as a legal advisor to Ulsan City," and mentioned, "The land purchased became a golden station area after a road was opened on barren land during Kim's tenure as mayor of Ulsan."
