"Even ten people can live in an apartment of around 66 square meters."


Eom Seungyong, the People Power Party candidate for Boryeong mayor in South Chungcheong Province, held a press conference to address recent allegations regarding his family's falsified residence registration and the "Vivid Cultural Heritage National Asset Utilization Project" contest, declaring his intention to confront the matter head-on.


Eom emphasized that he would firmly judge malicious smear campaigns and arrogant, classist politics, pledging to conduct a dignified election focused solely on the citizens.


The central issue at the press conference was the allegation raised by candidate Lee Youngwoo's camp concerning Eom's family's residence registration.


Lee's camp had filed a complaint, claiming that it constituted falsified residence registration for seven people, including adult children and daughters-in-law, to be registered as residents in an apartment of just over 66 square meters.


Eom responded, "It is entirely possible for even ten people to live in an apartment of this size," adding, "My family registered their residence in Boryeong with the intention of settling down and living here."


He further explained, "We must not distort legitimate cultural projects and the efforts of the local community," and stated, "The cultural heritage project I have participated in was transparently carried out in accordance with national contest procedures and administrative standards."



Eom clarified that "this was an official project funded by the national, provincial, and city governments, and all related procedures were carried out lawfully."
