“I was greatly disappointed and disappointed to the people who live sincerely.”
Public apology after two weeks of alleged speculation by LH employees

On the 16th, President Moon Jae-in apologized for the speculation of employees of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), saying, “I apologized for causing great concern to the people.”

President Moon said at a state council presided over at the Blue House that day, “I apologized for the disappointment and disappointment to the people living faithfully. He said, “We are seriously aware of the structure of corruption in our society, and we want to refine our attitude and work with a heavy sense of responsibility.”

President Moon’s apology is two weeks after the meeting of lawyers for solidarity and democratic society (Minbyun) on the 2nd uncovered allegations of speculation that LH employees bought 10 billion won worth of land in the planned third new city of Gwangmyeong and Siheung. It was 5 days after the government joint investigation team announced the results of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, LH, and the Blue House’s own investigation that’there are only 20 LH employees suspected of speculation’.

Meanwhile, the opposition party was in the position that it needed President Moon’s apology to the public. However, a key member of the Blue House said, “The president is now focusing on clearing the deep-seated real estate obstruction and how to ensure that the 2·4 supply measures can be promoted without shaking.” However, 20 days before the 4/7 re-election, the LH crisis emerged as the biggest issue and negative public opinion spread, and an analysis that President Moon apologized to the public one step late comes.
