[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Yoon Geon-young, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, claimed that "the cause lies with the current People Power Party and former President Lee Myung-bak" regarding the Daejang-dong land development suspicion involving Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung.

On the morning of the 23rd, Yoon appeared on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' and stated, "At that time, former President Lee Myung-bak effectively instructed, 'Return investment profits to the private sector' and 'Do not develop publicly.'"

Yoon raised his voice in criticism by listing current and former People Power Party lawmakers connected to the Daejang-dong suspicion. He explained, "Looking at the figures involved in the Daejang-dong project, the son of People Power Party lawmaker Kwak Sang-do worked at that company (Hwacheon Daeyu) for seven years, former lawmaker Won Yoo-chul served as an advisor to that company and received a huge salary, and the brother of former lawmaker Shin Young-soo has a criminal record related to the Daejang-dong land project."

He continued, "All the figures who have received even a single penny or are involved so far belong to the People Power Party," adding, "In short, it is a situation where the person who farted is the one getting angry."

Regarding the People Power Party's demand for a special prosecutor, he said, "No one would disagree with the need to uncover the truth," but drew a line by saying, "Calling for a special prosecutor while the investigation is still ongoing is going too far."

Meanwhile, Yoon emphasized the seriousness of the 'accusation instigation' suspicion surrounding Yoon Seok-youl, the People Power Party's presidential pre-candidate. He said, "Why is no one saying anything about the accusation instigation suspicion against candidate Yoon?" and added, "The Daejang-dong project and the accusation instigation suspicion are incomparable. They are on different levels."

He analyzed, "No facts have yet been revealed in the Daejang-dong case. There are only various rumors. On the other hand, the accusation instigation suspicion has been confirmed as true that a high-ranking prosecutor delivered an accusation document to an opposition politician. Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party say, 'Let's investigate,' 'Let's accept the prosecution and police investigation,' but the People Power Party even calls the search and seizure opposition suppression. Also, no part of the Daejang-dong project has yet been revealed to involve private gain."

Regarding the impact of the Daejang-dong preferential treatment suspicion on Governor Lee's approval rating, he said, "Real estate issues are very sensitive, so the suspicion itself is not good for Governor Lee," but added, "On the positive side, most political news during the Chuseok holiday was filled with news about Governor Lee. As a result, this presidential election is shaping up as a contest of 'Is it Lee Jae-myung or not.' So it is not all negative."
