Busan Mayor Park Hyeong-jun, the power of the people, said it was true that his wife bought an L-City apartment in Haeundae from her son.
However, he explained that he followed the procedure prescribed by law.

In 2015, my son paid more than 7 million won to buy a pre-sale ticket, but my mother bought me an apartment two years ago because I couldn’t get the balance.
At that time, he gave 100 million won over the current generation to his son, and he said he paid a transfer tax.
However, he said he did not reveal to whom he bought it because he thought it was unnecessary to reveal the story of the remarried family.

In addition, Democratic Party candidate Kim Young-chun, mayor of Busan, was greeted as a ridiculous explanation.

It was also questionable how his 30-year-old son set up a down payment and an intermediate payment of 1.4 billion won at the time.
He also said that on the day his son bought the sale ticket, he paid 5 million won more than his daughter to purchase the lower floor, and that he should investigate their purchase process.

Then, by the 23rd, Candidate Park again asked for the verification of the real estate data for 20 years worth of himself and his immediate family.
