[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Hong Joon-pyo, a preliminary candidate for the People Power Party's presidential primary, said about the Daejang-dong development scandal, "If I become president, I will put Lee Jae-myung in jail."

On the 6th, Hong met with party members at the Daegu City Party Office and responded to the question, "If it turns out that Governor Lee is the mastermind behind the Daejang-dong gate and he becomes the main candidate, how will you respond?"

Hong said, "Is there anything to respond to or not? I will obviously win, and if I become president, I will put Governor Lee Jae-myung in jail. It's simple."

He added, "The people involved in (Daejang-dong) are like leeches, so regardless of party affiliation, I will put them all in jail."

Hong also said, "Anyone can see that Governor Lee designed and created this incident, which he claims as his greatest achievement, and now he is trying to shift the blame onto our party. How shameless can one be? Look at how he responded to the free love scandal. Isn't that shameless? Also, the insults toward his sister-in-law."
