[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] Kim Samseok, husband of Yoon Mihyang, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea who is being expelled over allegations of real estate name trust, stated on the 9th, "I am greatly disappointed in the Democratic Party leadership for their shortsightedness without proper understanding," adding, "It feels like we are being played according to a well-scripted plan ahead of the presidential election."

On the same day, Kim wrote on Facebook, "I am dumbfounded and can only laugh at the Democratic Party's actions. I hope they take appropriate responsibility for the character assassination being carried out against my spouse without factual basis."

Kim also expressed concern, saying, "I cannot help but worry where the end of the Democratic Party leadership, who are like poisoned arrows being manipulated like a well-scripted play ahead of the presidential election, and the penmanship of conservative media will lead," adding, "If they do not calmly regain their composure, I will pour cold water on this."

He further stated, "In short, there is absolutely no problem with the real estate," and added, "If the violation of the real estate real-name system by Yoon Mihyang's spouse is such a big issue, then the allegations of speculation in Naegok-dong by Oh Se-hoon and the purchase of two LCT units by Park Hyung-jun should be punishable by 20 years in prison."

Earlier, Yoon released a statement the previous day explaining, "My parents-in-law lived in a rural house in Hamyang under my sister-in-law's name, but after my father-in-law passed away in March 2015, my mother-in-law could not live there alone and had no choice but to sell the house," adding, "During the process of purchasing a house in Hamyang in June 2017 for my mother-in-law to live alone, due to family circumstances, the house was purchased under my husband's name, and the proceeds from the sale of the rural house were used."

She continued, "In accordance with the party's one household, one house policy last year, the house was gifted from my spouse's name to my mother-in-law's name in October 2020," and stated, "I will sincerely cooperate with the investigation going forward."
