Yoo Young-min, the Blue House Secretary's Office, held a briefing on the morning of the 29th and announced that President Moon Jae-in has appointed Economic Chief Lee Ho-seung as the new Blue House Policy Officer.

It's been one day since the report that the current policy chief Kim Hang-jo increased the rent for apartments in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul by 14% just before the enactment of the ceiling on rent to cheonsei last year.

In July of last year, Kim Sang-jo, head of the current policy office, increased the rent for Cheongdam-dong, Seoul by 14% from 850 million won to 970 million won.

Suspicion was raised that the new contract was made two days before the enactment of the ceiling on rent for cheonsei by raising the jeonse price to avoid the system.

In response, Kim explained that he inevitably raised the rent for the apartment he is living in, as the rent for the apartment he currently resides in has increased.

However, the criticism has grown even more as Kim has strongly insisted on the introduction of the three lease laws, including the ceiling on jeon and monthly rent, as the commanding tower of the real estate policy.

A senior Blue House official said last night that Chief Kim expressed his appreciation to the secretary's office and reported his intention to resign directly to President Moon this morning.

In a situation where the real estate issue is a popular topic, a member of the Blue House said that if he stays in his place, he can distrust the public in distrust of the policy, so Mr. Kim himself strongly expressed his gratitude.

Following allegations of speculation by LH employees, controversy over the head of the Blue House Policy Office, the head of real estate policy, will inevitably hurt the current government's real estate policy.
