Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung refuted the allegations surrounding the Daejang-dong development project at an unscheduled 50-minute press conference.



"It is an exemplary public service project that prevented preferential treatment from private development and recovered more than 550 billion won for the benefit of citizens," he said.



[Lee Jae-myung/Governor of Gyeonggi: The development of Daejang-dong is the greatest achievement of the Seongnam Mayor that I am proud of even now. It was a whopping 550.3 billion won in development profits just by exercising the licenses and permits.]



The governor raised his voice saying that he was making unfounded negatives that could not

be

praised.



Regarding the allegations surrounding 'Hwacheon Daeyu', which owns a 1% stake in the developer and has received a dividend of 90 billion won over the past two years, 'Hwacheon Daeyu' is an asset management company established by agreement between investors and a shareholder of the developer.



He also denounced the media company that raised suspicions about the fact that Kim, a former journalist who had a 100% stake in Hwacheon Daeyu, had interviewed him in the past as "false reporting."

He argued that the power of the people is a matter for investigation by the Airborne Service and others.



Heo Eun-ah, senior spokesperson, said, "Given the circumstances in which Mr. Kim and others participated in the bonanza project and the relationship between Mr. Kim and the governor, there is much room for doubt to say it was a coincidence." It is against the law for the governor to say that there is no problem with this project.”
