[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, criticized the case in which Yuhan-gi, former head of the Development Project Division at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation (currently president of Pocheon Urban Corporation), who had an arrest warrant requested in connection with the Daejang-dong development project, was found dead, saying, "Isn't this because they only searched around while leaving the main architect, player number one, untouched?"


On the 10th, Lee shared an article about the news of Yuhan-gi's death on his Facebook and said, "I pray for the deceased's soul."


He added, "During the Optimus scandal, a close aide of a certain presidential candidate passed away as the investigation began, and now, during the Daejang-dong suspicion investigation, such a tragic event has occurred again."


According to the police, Yuhan-gi was found dead after falling in a flower bed of an apartment complex in Ilsan Seo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province, around 7:40 a.m. that day. Earlier, Yuhan-gi's family reported him missing around 4:10 a.m., stating that he left home after leaving a message implying a possible suicide, prompting the police to conduct a search operation.
