Kim Jin-tae, "Gangwon Provincial Government Ignores 12 Years of Fairness and Justice"... Promises to Abolish 'Gangwon's 3 Major Injustices'

"Democratic Party, the Originator of Gangwon Land Insider Appointments, Alpensia Cheap Sale, Legoland Privileges"

Jin-tae Kim, Preliminary Candidate for Governor of Gangwon Province, People Power Party [Election Camp]

[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Kim Jin-tae, the People Power Party's preliminary candidate for Governor of Gangwon Province, has defined the 'Gangwon Land reservation,' 'Alpensia bidding collusion suspicion,' and 'Legoland free experience for Gangwon Provincial Office employees' as the "three major unfair practices in Gangwon Province."

On the 28th, Kim held a press conference at the Gangwon Provincial Office briefing room and stated, "If elected governor, I will eradicate the three major unfair practices in Gangwon Province."

He pointed out, "The origin of the Gangwon Land reservation is the Democratic Party of Korea," adding, "Former Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun employed his brother-in-law as a director after serving as the public relations chief, and the president of Gangwon Land is a former Gyeongbuk election campaign committee chairman for Moon Jae-in's 2017 presidential campaign, while the vice president is a former aide to Assemblyman Lee Kwang-jae. All four board members are from the Democratic Party."

He continued, "Despite this, former Assemblyman Yeom Dong-yeol, who secured jobs for local constituents, was sentenced to one year in prison and went to jail, while the Democratic Party members live comfortably. Is this really fair?"

He repeatedly emphasized that the Alpensia sale process was also "unfair."

Candidate Kim said, "Alpensia, in which 1.6 trillion won was invested, was sold at 711.5 billion won, about 70% of the appraised value, but after deducting the amount of membership fees to be repaid later, Gangwon Province actually received only 450 billion won," criticizing it as an "Alpensia bargain sale."

He added, "It is even under investigation for bidding collusion, and at least two companies must bid for the auction to be valid, but two companies were hastily created: the winning bidder is KH Gangwon Development, and the other bidder is KH REITs."

He said, "Formally, there are two bidders, but in reality, only the KH Group bid. Is this really fair? This issue may face a crackdown by the Fair Trade Commission under the new government."

He also raised concerns about the free experience offered to Gangwon Provincial Office employees and their families before Legoland's opening.

Candidate Kim said, "Ordinary people have to purchase an annual membership worth 149,000 won to have a pre-experience, so citizens feel resentful even when they go to the amusement park," and criticized, "Legoland, which already has many problems, is providing free experiences to government employees' families using residents' tax money. Is this really fair?"

He emphasized, "For the past 12 years, fairness and justice have been ignored like this. This is why the Gangwon provincial government must be replaced," adding, "The interests of the residents come before taking care of my people. That is the first step toward improving people's livelihoods."
