Park Su-young "Yoon Hee-sook's Pre-Knowledge of Preliminary Feasibility Study and Speculation? ... Brain Fiction Born from Ignorance"

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Park Soo-young, a member of the People Power Party, has directly refuted claims from some ruling party members that the real reason behind Yoon Hee-sook's resignation from the National Assembly was 'speculation.' He stated that linking the Korea Development Institute (KDI)'s preliminary feasibility study (PFS) to speculation is a result of 'ignorance.'

On the 26th, Park refuted suspicions regarding Yoon through social media (SNS). First, addressing the claim that an industrial complex was planned on land purchased by Yoon's father, he said, "Out of the five industrial complexes, four are 'general industrial complexes' and one is a 'national industrial complex.'" He pointed out, "General industrial complexes are not developed by the state or local governments but by private individuals who buy land, develop it, and then sell it. Since no state or local government budget is involved, there is no preliminary feasibility study conducted by KDI."

He continued, "In the case of the one national industrial complex, a preliminary feasibility review began in December 2019, and the PFS was approved in September 2020." He rebutted, "Yoon's father purchased the land in March 2016, so it is not as if he had some foresight into the future or bought the land knowing the 2020 PFS results in advance."

Regarding the Public Investment Management Center (PIMAC), which conducts the PFS, he said, "Claiming that internal information was leaked externally to enable land purchases is an insult to PIMAC." He added, "Land prices in development areas become known when the development plan is first announced and press releases are issued, so people around the area become aware. It is not because of PIMAC's PFS results released 2 to 4 years later." He also pointed out, "At the time the PFS was conducted, Yoon was a professor at KDI School, not at KDI PIMAC."

Park said, "Those who criticize high morality and deep contemplation are merely spreading 'brain fictions' without understanding administrative procedures and content." He criticized, "Because they lack the conscience, common sense, and responsibility that others have and do not have the courage to admit it, they can only resort to incitement and baseless suspicions not grounded in facts."
