The campaign also said, "Lawmaker Kim's claim that '(Candidate Yoon's father) transferred the registration of the Yeonhui-dong house in April 2019 and received the intermediate and final payments due to the confirmation hearing for the Prosecutor General appointment' is also false." Regarding the timing of the house sale, Kim apologized to former Prosecutor General Yoon's side on the 1st via radio, saying, "I caused confusion due to a misunderstanding of the facts."
