Lee Jung-mi "Feng Shui Expert? Is a Long Beard Not Allowed but a Short Beard Is?"

Justice Party Leader's KBS Radio Interview
"No Intention to Join New Party with Geum Tae-seop and Yang Hyang-ja"

"Fortune tellers are not allowed, but pungsujiri (geomancy) is allowed; long beards are not allowed, but short beards are allowed?jokes like these are even coming out."

On the 25th, Lee Jeong-mi, leader of the Justice Party, said this in an interview with KBS Radio's 'Choi Kyung-young's Strongest Current Affairs' regarding the controversy over the selection of the presidential residence site.

Lee stated, "From the beginning, when the 'Cheongongseol' (sky hole theory) was raised, the government should have clearly responded. They should have said, 'That person is not Cheongong but Baek Jae-kwon.' However, they completely omitted that part. Why did they not tell the whole story? In the end, there must have been something suspicious about saying that."

Lee explained, "What this means is, first, entering that area was a civilian restricted zone, so proper reasons and approval procedures had to be obtained. They should have acquired the authorization to enter, but it seems there was some overstepping of authority."

She continued, "Second, when relocating the presidential office, there should be valid reasons such as necessity, security, and economic feasibility as criteria, right? I said I would go to the Yongsan presidential office for communication with the people, but all communication was shut down. Wasn't the security completely compromised?"

Lee added, "Then the only thing left is some geomantic basis. It must have been quite embarrassing for them to reveal that they pushed this issue based on some geomantic grounds in the process of deciding public affairs."

Meanwhile, regarding the Justice Party's reorganization efforts, Lee said, "Third parties are being mentioned like mushrooms after rain, but the process of promoting a new Justice Party will proceed straightforwardly. Rather than factions merging and splitting ahead of the general election, the most important thing is the process of innovation to become a truly useful party in this era."

Lee stated, "Currently, the forces pursuing third parties, including Geum Tae-seop's new party, have not clearly revealed any ideology or values they pursue," adding, "At this point, I have no intention of joining a party with them." Although she prefaced with 'at this point,' this implies she does not intend to join the so-called Yang Hyang-ja or Geum Tae-seop new parties.
