[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Kim Taenyeon, Acting Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 23rd strongly criticized Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party's Seoul mayoral candidate, regarding the speculation controversy in Naegok-dong, saying, "He is like an MB avatar" and "His lies are becoming more and more outrageous."


At the party floor countermeasure meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, Acting Leader Kim said, "Candidate Oh has consistently changed his story to evade responsibility, claiming he did not know the location of the land in Naegok-dong and still does not know it, that it was land designated during the Roh Moo-hyun administration, and that he was unaware because it was decided by the bureau chief."


He raised his voice, saying, "Candidate Oh must take responsibility for his changing lies," and "Those who have lied should not seek public office." He continued, "Our society is already well aware of the downfall of former President Lee Myung-bak, who deceived the public with lies to become president," and criticized, "Candidate Oh mistakenly believes he can deceive the public with clumsy story changes. He is a lying politician worthy of being called an 'MB avatar.'"


Acting Leader Kim emphasized, "Lies by public officials undermine fairness and justice and create grounds for corruption in society. One instance of MB's lies causing state affairs manipulation is enough. A careless tongue is not suitable for the important public office of Seoul mayor."



He added, "Candidate Oh is a former mayor who failed by focusing only on showy administration while ignoring citizens' lives," and "During his tenure, Candidate Oh wasted budgets on various construction projects like water, yet resigned from office claiming he would block eco-friendly free meals for our children."
