"Turning their back on Daejang-dong and running in Incheon with no ties
Promises of unlimited responsibility are absurd"

and start their campaign blaming the People Power Party"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Hyun-ji] On the 8th, the People Power Party criticized Lee Jae-myung, Senior Advisor of the Democratic Party of Korea, for running in the Incheon Gyeyang-eul by-election, stating, "The public wants a thorough investigation into unresolved suspicions, not Lee's candidacy."
Heo Eun-ah, chief spokesperson of the People Power Party, issued a statement immediately after Lee's announcement of his candidacy, saying, "He called the Daejang-dong development project the greatest achievement since the founding of Korea, but now he turns his back on Daejang-dong and declares his candidacy in Incheon, where he has no ties. Promising to fulfill the infinite responsibility that is the fate of politicians is truly absurd." She added, "If he truly wants to take responsibility, Lee should not run in the election but sincerely undergo investigation." This was a renewed attack on the suspicions surrounding Lee, including the Daejang-dong and Baekhyeon-dong development projects.
Regarding Lee's comment that "excessive slander and groundless attacks by the People Power Party trying to block my candidacy were also a factor in my decision," she retorted, "Like a political migratory bird, he clearly left for a Democratic Party stronghold and from the very start of his declaration, he blames the People Power Party."
