Controversy over the officetel owned by former Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, who insisted that “the provision for the restitution of unearned income of land should be specified even if the constitution is made” in response to President Moon Jae-in’s remarks on the’Real Estate Storage Clearing’ on the 16th is growing. The People’s Power side launched an offensive on the 17th, saying, “Last year, former Minister Chu announced his intention to’dispose of the minister after his resignation’, but even after his retirement on January 27th, the officetel was still confirmed to be in the name of Minister Chu.”

According to a certified copy of the Yeouido Officetel A, which was confirmed by Congressman Jeon Ju-hye, the power of the people on the day, the officetel was still in the name of Minister Choo. This officetel (with an exclusive area of ​​55m2) located across the main entrance of the National Assembly has two rooms in the living room, and can be used for office and residential use.

Minister Choo bought the officetel for 280 million won in May 2009, and received a loan of 140 million won, half of the purchase price, from a bank. This amount is the maximum (50% purchase price) that the bank will lend as collateral for officetel.

Currently, eco-friendly plant equipment companies are occupied. An official from a nearby real estate company said, “It is the largest officetel in the building, and the market price exceeds 400 million, considering the recent trend of rising real estate prices.”

In addition to this officetel, Minister Choo also owns an apartment (exclusive area of ​​183m2) in Guui-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

Minister Choo has been actively voicing on the recent real estate issue. Regarding the allegations of speculation by the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), on the previous day on Facebook, “We sincerely welcome President Moon’s declaration of liquidation of real estate abuse. The real estate obstruction that has plagued Korean society after liberation can be summarized as the concentration of real estate by very few and unearned income beyond imagination.”

“The ultimate goal of clearing real estate storage is to realize the’land disclosure concept’ specified in our Constitution as a more specific law, and to give hope to the people who are frustrated by inequality. Even through amendments to the constitution in the future, the provisions for the return of unearned income on land must be clearly stated.Insisted. The concept of land disclosure is the concept that ownership and disposal of land can be restricted for the public good.

Earlier on the 14th, Facebook said, “The prosecution’s responsibility is the greatest for the corruption in the real estate market.” “The opposition party has shaken public sentiment with the LH case and is striving to reinforce the prosecution and resisting prosecution reform.” And said.

In July of last year, when he was the Minister of Justice, “The strange phenomenon of linking bank loans to real estate should not be neglected.”I also said that.

In the opposition party, it was pointed out that it was a “typical inner bull”. Rep. Jeon Ju-hye said, “The public anger over the Moon Jae-in government’s real estate measures and LH speculation, which failed even in the 25th announcement, has reached its peak.” “It is inconsistent in words and actions that Choo Jeon, who borrowed 50% of the purchase price of officetel, bought an officetel, and raised monthly rent, and argued for the redemption of unearned income while forcing the separation of the money.Pointed out.

Chun said, “At the time of the controversy over multi-householding of high-ranking officials last year, Minister Choo announced his intention to’dispose of officetels after retirement’ through a number of media reports. Show as it is.”

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun delivered to each ministry that, in July of last year, when high-ranking public officials were criticized by public opinion due to the surge in real estate prices, “Quickly grasp the status of housing for high-ranking public officials and sell them as soon as possible.” When former Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa, who owns a detached house in Yeonhui-dong and a multi-family house in Bongcheon-dong, retired on the 8th of last month, it was controversial because he did not dispose of the multi-houses.
