It was found that the candidate Eui-yong of the foreign minister made a total market profit of 1.64 billion won through real estate transactions. In particular, Candidate Chung did not live in two of the three real estate purchased since 1995.

According to the personnel hearing data submitted by Candidate Chung to the National Assembly, Candidate Chung purchased a mansion in Sinsa-dong, Seoul for 420 million won in 1995 and sold it for 850 million won in 1999, four years later. In 2000, he bought an apartment in Yongin, Gyeonggi for 450 million won, and sold it back for 800 million won in 2008. Through such a real estate transaction, Candidate Jung earned a market profit of 780 million won. The current villa in Hannam-dong was purchased for 640 million won in 2000, and the total price difference is 1.64 billion won, including those currently trading at 1.5 billion won.

Candidate Jung, who was a professional diplomat, served as Ambassador Joshoneva and has been a member of the National Assembly and head of the National Security Office of the Blue House since 2004. According to the submitted record of moving in, Candidate Jung moved to a villa in Sinsa-dong, Seoul in 2004, and an apartment in Apgujeong-dong, Seoul in 2006. From March 2009 to March 2010, I lived in my own villa in Hannam-dong, but after that, I re-chartered an apartment in Yongsan-dong, Seoul, and have been living until now. During that period, Yongin-si apartments (purchased in 2000, sold in 2008) and Hannam-dong villas (purchased in 2000, and are still in stock) remained in possession.

In particular, in the case of Yongin apartments held from 2000 to 20008, there is no record of Jung’s move-in. After purchasing the Hannam-dong Villa, the actual residence period is only one year. Most of the rest of the period, they earned rental income through monthly rent and annual rent contracts.

From the papers alone, Candidate Jung is the one-homeowner who owns only Hannam-dong villas while selling Yongin apartments in 2008. In 2019, when the Blue House instructed a secretary-level or higher “sell all the remaining houses except for one,” there was no such matter. However, even at that time, candidate Jung lived in a private house contracted under his wife’s name and owned a villa in Hannam-dong. There is a side that does not match the Moon Jae-in government’s stance, which has been making problems with realizing market profits or investing in real estate for rental income.

In this regard, Candidate Jung explained, “In the case of Hannam-dong villas, there was a tenant who had a long-term contract with the previous owner at the time in 1999, and it was impossible to move in by purchasing it under the condition of guaranteeing the tenant’s rental period. Regarding the apartment in Yongin, Gyeonggi, where there was no record of moving in, “After returning as a diplomat, I lived in Korea and lived as a charter by moving the place of residence because the rental period of the house I used to live as a charter does not match I said.
