Jang Donghyuk, Who Said "Let the President Sell First," Puts One of Six Properties (Officetel) on the Market

Jang Donghyuk, leader of the People Power Party, who had faced criticism for being a multiple-home owner with a total of six properties, has reportedly put one officetel on the market, as of February 28. However, the exact timing of when it was listed remains unclear, and it is reported that the sale has not yet been completed.

Park Sunghoon, chief spokesperson for the People Power Party, met with reporters at the National Assembly on this day and stated, "One of the properties that Representative Jang is not actually using was put on the market quite some time ago," adding, "As far as I know, there have been no purchase inquiries."

Representative Jang currently owns a total of six properties: one apartment in Guro-gu, Seoul, where he actually resides; one apartment in Boryeong, South Chungcheong Province, which is his constituency; one house in Boryeong where his mother lives; a one-fifth share of an apartment in Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province, where his mother-in-law lives; a one-tenth share of an apartment in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, inherited from his father-in-law; and one officetel in Yeouido. Among these, it is understood that the Yeouido officetel has been put up for sale.

Previously, after facing criticism for being a multiple-home owner, Representative Jang declared at the People Power Party Supreme Council meeting on February 5, "If President Lee sells his apartment, I will also sell my real estate," targeting President Lee Jaemyung and his wife. In response, President Lee listed the Bundang-gu apartment in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, which he co-owned with First Lady Kim Hye-kyung, on the market the previous day. If this apartment is sold, President Lee and his wife will become non-homeowners.

In response, the Democratic Party of Korea pressured Representative Jang to follow through on his pledge, stating, "The People Power Party should respond with action, not just words."
