[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Choi] Won Hee-ryong, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, criticized the Moon Jae-in administration's alleged manipulation of real estate statistics as a 'state scandal' if proven true.

On the 18th, Minister Won stated on Facebook, "If the Moon Jae-in government artificially manipulated real estate-related statistics to maintain power, that is precisely a state scandal."

The Board of Audit and Inspection, currently auditing the operation and management of the national statistics system, is investigating suspicions of intentional distortion in housing price statistics compiled during the Moon Jae-in administration. It is known that many Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport employees responsible for housing price statistics at the time are included in the audit.

Minister Won criticized, "During the five years of the Moon administration, the entire nation had to become victims of flawed real estate policies," adding, "Nevertheless, the Moon administration deceived the public by presenting statistics detached from reality, portraying failure as success."
