[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] The People Power Party is intensifying its offensive against Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province and ruling party presidential candidate, who is implicated in the 'Daejang-dong Development Project Corruption Allegations.'

On the 3rd, Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, directly criticized Governor Lee on Facebook, saying, "Player number 1, please be quiet." He added, "It seems you are anxious as it was confirmed that Kim Man-bae was going in and out of the Supreme Court before and after his acquittal, but if you have something to say, say it when a special prosecutor is appointed." He also said, "I have never seen someone who is number 1 act so openly and talk so much."

On the same day, he quoted an article containing Governor Lee's remarks at a press conference announcing pledges in the Gyeonggi region, where he targeted the opposition raising the 'Daejang-dong allegations,' saying, "A Buddha sees a Buddha, and a pig sees a pig."

Yoon Seok-youl, former Prosecutor General and opposition presidential candidate, also made a bold move by calling on Governor Lee to 'resign his candidacy.' On that day, he wrote on Facebook, "Governor Lee, at this point, please step down not only from your governorship but also from your candidacy and undergo a special prosecutor investigation." He added, "Do not ask for rescue from the prosecution, police, and the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials controlled by the Moon Jae-in administration; instead, undergo a clean special prosecutor investigation and stand before the judgment of history."

He continued, "Can you not hear the anger and outcry of the people right now?" and criticized, "Can a major presidential candidate properly run for election while being accused as the mastermind of a serious crime?"

On the same day, Heo Eun-ah, chief spokesperson for the People Power Party, also mentioned the connection between former Seongnam Urban Development Corporation Planning Director Yoo Dong-gyu, considered a key figure in the 'Daejang-dong allegations,' and Governor Lee in a statement. She said, "'Former Director Yoo is just a staff member, and the fact that the design was done directly' is something that came from Governor Lee's mouth just three weeks ago." She added, "If former Director Yoo, the staff member, is arrested, the next investigation should naturally be directed at the designer, Governor Lee," and raised her voice, saying, "The Democratic Party and Governor Lee should immediately accept a special prosecutor investigation according to the will of collective intelligence."
