Song Young-gil: "Won Hee-ryong, a second Oh Se-hoon... Investigation needed"

Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong announced the complete cancellation of the Seoul-Yangpyeong highway project, which has been suspected of special favors to the family of First Lady Kim Geon-hee. Former Democratic Party leader Song Young-gil criticized this, saying, "Is this the second Oh Se-hoon (Mayor of Seoul)?"

On the 7th, Song posted on his social media, "Minister Won, who stakes his ministerial position on a long-cherished project of the residents, definitely has something going on," he said.

Referring to Mayor Oh, who once risked his position over the free school meals issue, he pointed out, "Similarly, Minister Won's failure to control his emotions yesterday and his statement on canceling the highway project was an absurd overreaction."

He added, "If he hadn't heard some bombshell remarks in Yongsan, it would have been difficult to make such an overreaction," and said, "He is creating grounds for a state audit and the introduction of a special prosecutor."

Former leader Song said, "A thorough investigation is needed to find out who diverted a perfectly fine highway plan to the land of Kim Geon-hee's family and who harbored the malicious intent to cancel it just because they couldn't benefit from it."
