People’s Power is pouring fire into the so-called neighbor’s suspicion that the house next door to the apartment building in Sunae-dong, Bundang-gu, Gyeonggi-do, the home of presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea, was used as a dormitory for Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH) employees. The controversy over the misuse of corporate cards by Lee’s wife, Kim Hye-kyung, was also entwined, raising suspicions that employees of public corporations under Gyeonggi-do were engaged in an illegal pre-election campaign with the support of Lee and the couple.
The Democratic Party jumped at this, calling it “a new start” and a “false fact” and foretold legal action.
The so-called neighbor’s suspicion was triggered by a report by TV Chosun the day before. TV Chosun said that in August 2020, when Lee was serving as the Gyeonggi governor, GH rented a 200.66 m² (61 pyeong) apartment in Sunae-dong, Bundang-gu, Gyeonggi-do for 2 years for a rent of 950 million won for an employee dormitory. It was reported that it was the house next door to the candidate.

After the report, the people’s power went on a general offensive. The power of the people is claiming that the Lee candidate actually used the GH employee dormitory as an illegal election camp, and that Kim started the election campaign by supporting these employees with Gyeonggi-do blood money.
At the forefront of raising suspicions, Won Hee-ryong, head of the policy division of the predecessor headquarters, emerged as a sniper for Lee while working as a ‘one-shot instructor in Daejang-dong’ during the presidential election. Director Won, who first raised the suspicion on the Facebook page of the social networking service (SNS) on the 12th, saying, “There are several reports regarding the secret of 10 sushi servings,” he also posted a number of related posts on the same day.

Kwon Young-se, head of the shipbuilding division, said, “People are wondering where the 10 sushi people went and who the ‘parasite’ that 5th grade civil servant Bae said is really. It is the right thing for the people to be investigated together.”
Kim Ki-hyeon, floor leader of the People’s Power, also said, “There is a reasonable doubt that the GH dormitory was moved to the side of candidate Lee’s home in August 2020 and used illegally, secretly preparing for the presidential election, such as preparing for Lee’s promises as the ‘Sunae-dong shadow presidential election organization’. I have no choice but to do it,” he urged Lee to explain.
