[(Yesterday, SBS 8 News) People's Power CEO Lee Jun-seok's father has owned the field for 17 years, but it was revealed that he did not actually do any farming, so there is a possibility of violating the Farmland Act.]
Immediately after the report, CEO Lee Jun-seok said, "I'm sorry" issued a statement.
"My father's real estate sale was made in 2004 when he was 18 years old, and after the SBS interview, I learned about the acquisition by hearing from my parents," he said.
Democrats went on the offensive.
In a commentary by a spokesperson, he said, "It's not something that can be overlooked because CEO Lee didn't know," he said.
Rep. Shin Dong-geun wrote on social media, "People's power lawmaker Yoon Hee-sook, who announced his resignation from his father's real estate-related allegations," and wrote, "I'm sorry."
Justice Party"The fact that Lee, who had run for the National Assembly election three times, did not even attempt to inspect the real estate of his immediate family means that he is not qualified to represent the people."
On the other hand, voices of support came from among the presidential candidates for the People's Power.
Rep. Hong Jun-pyo said, "It was not a matter that President Lee could be involved in, so we should stop the sit-in system," and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min insisted, "No one should be blamed for something other than his own actions."
