[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] On the 3rd, the People Power Party invited residents of Daejang-dong to the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee meeting to strengthen demands for investigation and a special prosecutor regarding the 'Daejang-dong Development Project Favoritism Allegations.'

On that day, members of the People Power Party's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee mentioned the damages suffered by residents due to the Daejang-dong development project during the full committee meeting and emphasized the responsibility of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate.

Kim Eun-hye, a member of the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, choked up during a procedural speech, saying, "I wanted to invite the original residents as witnesses and reference persons to reveal the truth through their stories. I came here to expose the entity that took away your rights."

During the meeting, when Song Seok-jun took out the 'dog doll' he had shown at the previous National Assembly audit, ruling party members immediately left the meeting room, causing the meeting to be disrupted.

Following this, members of the People Power Party held the 'People Power Party Daejang-dong Public Hearing' in the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee subcommittee room and discussed the favoritism allegations of the Daejang-dong development project with representatives of local residents.

One resident attending the hearing said, "As a resident of Daejang-dong, I stand here today," and pointed out, "In short, our land was forcibly taken, and although it was promised from the start that it would be a private project, after being elected (as mayor), the project was cunningly carried out as a public-private joint venture."

Another resident said, "When it was a private development, I also sold all my units, but after it switched to public development, I did not receive any money," and added, "The people of Daejang-dong know who the main culprits are, who the ringleaders are, and why this happened."

In response, lawmaker Lee Jong-bae criticized, "Public-private joint development is a well-disguised fraud," and said, "It is true that we were deceived by the project designer. As soon as he was elected, he changed his words and carried out a public-private joint development, but in reality, there is neither 'public' nor 'private' in it."

Song Seok-jun, who led the hearing, said, "The residents conveyed vivid voices from the field," and added, "Our People Power Party is currently holding a tent protest in front of the National Assembly main building to push for a special prosecutor. We will work to uncover the truth through the special prosecutor and ensure that the wrongdoings are punished."
