Controversy over preferential treatment over the Daejang-dong development project in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do is emerging as an issue in the Democratic Party's presidential primary. Candidate Lee Jae-myung maintained a strong stance on the matter, saying that it had already been verified, and Candidate Nak-yeon Lee, saying that the public was angry, called for an investigation into the truth.

Candidate Jae-myung Lee turned his arrow to the opposition, saying, "If there was even a single grain of dust, he would have turned to dust" in suspicion of the development of Daejang-dong, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do and the Hwacheon Daeyu.

Camp officials also said that Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, when the development of Daejang-dong began, Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye were a thorn in the eyes. Former Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il, who made the case, said that he worked as an advisor to Hwacheon Daeyu because of his relationship with Mr. Kim, the owner of Hwacheon Daewoo.



Rep. Kwak Sang-do, the People's Power, mentioned by Candidate Jae-myung Lee, responded that his son only worked for 2.5 million won a month, and that the owner of the Daejang-dong development was Candidate Jae-myung Lee.



Candidate Lee Nak-yeon emphasized a thorough investigation, saying that the people are outraged.

However, a camp official explained that it was only referring to the need to find out the truth, and not a negative for a specific candidate.



Competition for Honam, the biggest winner in the primary, also heated up.



Candidate Jae-myung Lee, who visited Honam, appealed to the power of Honam, which had created a democratic government, to win the final battle against the established powers of corruption.



Candidate Nak-yeon Lee recently reversed a voter poll in Honam, and expressed confidence in the pursuit that next week's Honam primary would be a watershed.
