[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Lee Kwang-jae, Secretary General of the National Assembly, on the 25th, expressed opposition and hinted at legal action regarding Nam Wook, a private developer involved in the Daejang-dong project, mentioning him in the 'Daejang-dong suspicion' trial.


Secretary General Lee stated through social media (SNS) on the same day, "Today, Nam Wook mentioned me in the trial," and clarified, "I have no acquaintance with Kim Man-bae. I only learned about the neighborhood called Daejang-dong after the incident broke out. I have no connection with Daejang-dong."


He continued, "If defamation based on untrue facts occurs, I will definitely hold legal responsibility."



Nam mentioned at the Daejang-dong breach of trust case hearing held at the Seoul Central District Court that Kim was involved to persuade Lee, who was the mayor of Seongnam at the time of the Daejang-dong development, and that Kim attempted to persuade the mayor through Secretary General Lee and three others. However, Nam added, "I have not confirmed whether Kim actually engaged in such activities."
