[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Amid growing opposition from citizens' and social organizations and university student councils in Jinju, Gyeongnam to the government's 'LH Innovation Plan,' a local business organization held a one-person relay protest against the 'LH dismantling-level innovation plan' in front of the National Assembly main gate in Yeouido, Seoul, from the 26th to the 30th.

On the 26th, Song Gyun-ho, chairman of the Jinju Export Companies Council, and three executives participated; on the 27th, Jo Mi-sook, president of the Jinju Small Business Federation, and three executives; on the 29th, Jeong Dae-hyun, chairman of the Jinju branch of the Korea Association of Certified Realtors, and three executives; and on the 30th, Lee Seong-gap, chairman of the Jeongchon Industrial Complex Council, and Yoon Du-chil, chairman of the Sangpyeong Industrial Complex Council, continued the one-person protests under the recent scorching heat exceeding 35 degrees Celsius.

President Jo Mi-sook pointed out, "It is appropriate to severely punish LH executives and public officials involved in real estate speculation, but reducing LH's functions, organization, and workforce shakes the foundation and existence of the Jinju Innovation City in Gyeongnam, which was established for balanced national development, and cannot be an appropriate solution."

She emphasized, "To find the fundamental causes and solutions to the public institution real estate speculation problem, it is essential to supplement and reorganize the laws and systems, which are internal control measures."
