LH covered with Gadeok, the ecological bath workshop right after unification… Major scenes of the re-evaluation and rehabilitation that shook the votes

The 4‧7 re-evaluation race was held so intensely that it was reminiscent of the general and presidential elections. As a result of the sexual scandal by former mayors, the unprecedented situation in which by-elections were held at the same time in the first and second cities of Korea, and the issue of unification of candidates and real estate issues drew hot attention from voters.

In April of last year, former Mayor of Busan Oh Geo-don admitted that he was sexually harassing a subordinate, and gave up the mayor. Park Won-soon, former Mayor of Seoul, who was accused of sexual harassment by a former secretary in July of the same year, made an extreme choice. did. On the 17th of last month, former Mayor Park’s sexual harassment victim held a press conference and said, “There are many reasons why the by-election was held in the current situation. Please stop the second offense,” and the incident emerged again.

Throughout the election period, the opposition party emphasized that it was “an election held by sexual harassment by two former mayors of the Democratic Party”. Democratic Party Mayor Park Young-seon lowered himself, saying, “I sincerely apologize to the victims (last month 8),” but ex-president Jong-seok Lim, etc., insisting on “reevaluating Park Won-soon” revealed a confusion.

In Busan, the’Gadeokdo New Airport’, which was taken out by the inferior Democratic Party as a counterattack card, emerged as a variable. On February 26, the Democratic Party passed the National Assembly of the Gadeokdo New Airport Special Act, which exempted the preliminary feasibility study of a project worth 12.8 trillion won (estimated by the Ministry of Land). In addition, as President Moon Jae-in personally visited Gadeokdo Island, the opposition party protested that it was “election civil engineering work” as the government and ruling party provided full support.

However, on the 2nd of last month, when suspicion of land speculation by an employee of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) first arose, the real estate issue became Jungkook’s’black hole’. As the public sentiment overwhelmed by the keyword’unfair’ shifted to dissatisfaction with the government’s real estate policy such as rising house prices and tax issues, the Mayor of Seoul, where the Democratic Party took the lead until February, also changed the atmosphere in March. The government quickly launched a joint investigation, but in the first results announcement on the 11th of last month, 20 suspects of speculation were caught, and the condemned public opinion increased.

At the end of March, it was revealed that major passport figures such as Kim Sang-jo, head of the Blue House Policy Office, and Park Ju-min, Democratic Party lawmaker Park Ju-min, greatly increased their rent before and after the 3rd Lease Act. The Cheong Wa Dae hurried to evolving the controversy while hardening the head of the controversy Kim Sang-jo after a day of controversy. .

On March 23, as the unification of opposition powers between the National Assembly representative Ahn Chul-soo and the Mayor Oh Se-hoon, the Mayor of the People’s Power, was achieved, the electoral system rapidly changed. Initially, the possibility of unification was raised as a result of a tight tug-of-war between the two sides, but after the unification was achieved, Representative Ahn took over as the co-president of Candidate Oh’s camp and actively played a support campaign.

At the end of the election, a negative battle of passports aimed at allegations of real estate speculation by opposition candidates such as’Ecological Bath’ and’L City’ began in earnest. In particular, the’ecological bath workshop’ spread as a mud fight over whether Candidate Se-hoon Oh accompanied the survey site in Naegok-dong and visited a nearby ecological bath house in 2005. In the last TV debate between Candidate Oh and Candidate Park on the 5th, Park raised the suspicion and urged him to be a “lie”, and Candidate Oh also counterattacked Park that “the existence itself is a lie” .

“What will happen to the owners of the eco-tang house” (Democratic Party lawmaker Jeong Cheong-rae) and “I work hard to boil saengte-tang” (CEO Su-jin Cho), which led to sue and high development between the two sides. On the 6th, the day before the election, Park directly presented a photograph of evidence, saying, “Netizens all went to find a picture of Ferragamo loafers that Candidate Oh wore (at the time of land surveying).” However, Candidate Oh immediately said, “You can see that it is not the brand just by looking at the pictures. (I wore it) “A domestic brand,” he refuted, saying, “How can a candidate say that directly?”
