There were three keywords on the front page of the morning newspaper on the 19th. ‘Cheonse fraud’, ‘oil tax cut’, ‘Song Young-gil’. When there were victims who ended their lives due to a series of charter scams, the government came up with an emergency measure called ‘suspending the auction’ of the damaged property, and most newspapers covered it at the top of the front page. Subsequently, the Kyunghyang Shinmun and the Hankyoreh published articles criticizing the government for extending the oil tax cut despite concerns over worsening tax revenue, and the JoongAng Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo published transcripts from the Democratic Party convention money envelope investigation process, “Young Gil-hyung” and “Many It was dealt with” was emphasized on the front page.
Urges fundamental measures for government emergency treatment, Joseon “respiratory oxygen level”
After three young people who were victims of charter fraud in Incheon died in succession in the last two months, the government came up with a plan to suspend or suspend auctions of scam victims as an emergency measure. President Yoon said, “In civil procedures, damage relief is also necessary, but most of the victims of charter fraud, who are the socially underprivileged, often do not know that there is a damage relief method or policy. Please build a good visiting support service system.”
Donga Ilbo front page article <“전세사기 주택 2083채 경매 넘어가”>“In fact, it was found that there are 12 collective buildings (apartments, officetels, villas) in Michuhol-gu alone where the entire building was auctioned off.” It is said that more than 1066 houses have already been auctioned off. Among the auction houses, 106 houses have already been sold and sold.”
The charter fraud that swept the Incheon area was caused by Mr. Nam, who was called the ‘architectural king’, failing to return a total of 2864 households and regarding 270 billion won of jeonse deposits. It was first known to the world in August of last year. When the government’s countermeasures came out for the first time in April, nine months later, comments such as ‘late’ and ‘backbook’ came out.
Chosun Ilbo 4-page article <육상대표 출신도 공단 모범생도… 부동산 경험 없는 2030이 피해>In “The government has practically let go of its hands for nine months, but recently, when three victims made extreme choices, they are rushing to come up with countermeasures.” He pointed out that special measures are needed so that the victims of this generation will not be driven to the streets.”
Donga Ilbo, page 4 <전세사기 방지법안 17건, 국회서 발묶여… 정쟁에 뒷전>In “As charter fraud has emerged as a social problem, a series of bills for the ‘prevention of charter fraud’ have been proposed in the National Assembly, but it has been shown that many of them have not even crossed the threshold of the National Assembly Standing Committee. While the National Assembly was stopped due to excessive political strife between the ruling and opposition parties, critics say that the young generation in their 20s and 30s, who suffered from charter fraud, were driven to a tragic choice.”
The Dong-A Ilbo, on page 2 <“전세사기 피해자 집 경매 중단 추진… “시간 벌기, 근본대책 안돼”>“It is pointed out that additional measures are needed as the suspension of the auction itself is likely to infringe on property rights and is not a fundamental remedy,” he said. It’s complicated and it doesn’t seem easy to seek cooperation. There is also controversy that if the government forcibly stops the auction, it violates the rights of creditors and neutralizes the existing collection system.”
As a more active countermeasure, the victim’s ‘priority purchase right’ or a plan for public institutions to purchase damaged houses is discussed. The Hankyoreh said, “The right to claim preferential purchase is the right to purchase preferentially even if a third party wins a bid for a house through an auction, if the lessee pays the winning bid amount to the court. If an institution purchases a damaged house), a public institution will purchase a house for which the deposit has not been returned, convert it to public rental housing, and then supply it to the damaged tenant first.”
The Kyunghyang Shinmun is an editorial <경매 중단시킨 전세사기, ‘사회적 재난’으로 대처하라>“This measure only postpones the date of the auction, but does not return the deposit the tenant did not receive, so comprehensive support measures must be followed. We need to come up with practical support measures for victims to recover. Not only Incheon, but also other regions where charter fraud is concentrated, must hurry up to investigate the actual situation. The government should treat the damage caused by charter fraud as a ‘social disaster’ and deal with it with all-out efforts.”
The Hankook Ilbo “I wonder if there are any countermeasures” for the successive tax cuts
On the front page of the Kyunghyang Shinmun and the Hankyoreh, the contradiction of the oil tax cut policy was criticized with expressions such as ‘tax revenue security disruption’ and ‘twisted energy policy’. It is an analysis that took public sentiment into consideration ahead of the general election. Most newspapers, except for the Kyunghyang Shinmun and the Hankyoreh, treated it as a low priority, and the Seoul Shinmun viewed it favorably, saying, “We took care of public sentiment despite concerns regarding deteriorating tax revenue.”
On the front page, the Kyunghyang Shinmun said, “The government has decided to extend the ‘oil tax cut’ measure that was supposed to be implemented until the end of April for another four months until the end of August.” The government’s tax revenue situation is likely to deteriorate further. In particular, the tax authorities are also predicting that the corporate tax revenue collected in March will decrease significantly compared to last year.”
Hankyoreh page 1 <유류세 인하 또 연장 꼬여가는 에너지정책>In the article, “The decision to raise utility bills, such as electricity and gas rates, is being postponed. The government’s energy policy, which promised to reduce the amount of fuel tax cuts and gradually realize public utility rates, is twisted as it is twisted by the populism of the political world conscious of next year’s general elections,” he criticized.
While emphasizing ‘fiscal soundness’, the government is implementing various tax reduction policies such as corporate tax cuts. Revenue as well as expenditure has a huge impact on soundness, but the mention of this is ambiguous. Hankook Ilbo editorial <유류세 인하 연장, 전기료 인상 미적… 후폭풍 감당하겠나>“It is questionable whether there are sufficient measures in place to cope with the followingmath of the tax gap,” he said. The tax cut due to the oil tax cut was 5.5 trillion won last year alone.”
On the other hand, most newspapers did not take seriously the news of the government’s oil tax cut. Chosun Ilbo was not covered in the paper, JoongAng Ilbo was covered on page 12, and Segye Ilbo was covered on page 16.
The Seoul Shinmun looked rather favorably. Seoul newspaper page 6 <유류세 인하 4개월 연장… 세수악화 우려에도 민심부터 챙겼다>In the photo article, it was said that “the public sentiment was taken into consideration rather than the lack of tax revenue”, and the photo article titled “The economy of the common people is breathless”.
Song Young-gil recording scandal… Most of them are quoted by the prosecution in JTBC and Chosun Ilbo.
“Young-gil took care of a lot”, “I don’t know where I got it, but Young-gil took care of a lot” are the headlines of the front-page articles in the Chosun Ilbo and JoongAng Ilbo. The Chosun Ilbo quoted the prosecution, saying, “The prosecution is said to have secured a recording file containing the circumstances in which then-party leader candidate Song Young-gil was involved in the distribution of money envelopes.” The Kyunghyang Shinmun and the Hankyoreh also cited JTBC.
The recording came from the investigation into the alleged distribution of money envelopes at the 2021 Democratic National Convention. In 2021, Rae-gu Kang (Standing Audit Committee Member of Korea Water Resources Corporation) spoke on the phone with former Vice President of the Democratic Party Jeong-geun Lee, and candidate Song Young-gil at the time was mentioned. The Chosun Ilbo said, “Someone (Candidate Song Young-gil) said, ‘You are working hard’, but Young-gil said that. ‘So I took care of it a little bit, so work harder’. I don’t know what or where Young-gil got it, but he took care of it a lot.” He then quoted the prosecution once more, saying, “The prosecution, who checked the transcript, is said to view these conversations as a circumstance that former CEO Song Young-gil was aware of the ‘spreading of money envelopes’ and directly intervened.”
Former CEO Song is in a position that he did not know regarding the distribution of money envelopes. The JoongAng Ilbo quoted Rep. Lee Sang-min on page 3, saying, “It is also a burden on the entire Democratic Party that Lee and former CEO Song were political allies to the extent that they were called Lee Shim-song-sim.” Therefore, in order to break through, the person involved has to take a drastic prescription such as expelling the party,” he said.
The Hankyoreh is on page 6 <귀국 확답않는 송영길… “선당후사 팽개쳤다” 부글부글> In the article, former CEO Song chose to stay instead of returning to Korea, saying, “The Democratic Party’s policy of trying to put out the urgent fire regarding the suspicion of money envelopes in the party convention through an early return and clarification has gone awry.” Song will hold a press conference in Paris to clarify her suspicions.
