On the 9th, Chairman Park stated on Facebook, "There was a media report that 14 parcels of land totaling 10,068㎡ near the original terminus of the Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway are owned by a former county governor affiliated with the Democratic Party (Jeong Dong-gyun, former Yangpyeong County Governor) and his relatives." He added, "The former county governor attended today's Democratic Party 'Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway Special Favor Suspicion Fact-Finding TF Press Conference."

Former Governor Jeong explained that he inherited the land, is not well aware of its location, and that the terminus site requires crossing a large mountain, so it is unrelated to the terminus. However, Chairman Park cited media reports stating that except for two parcels, the land is either roadside or adjacent to the road, calling it "an outrageous matter."

Chairman Park said, "The absurd political attack targeting the President's wife will be a self-inflicted blow," and added, "They must face the residents' anger who say not to meddle without knowing what the residents want."
