Second discussion on the spouse issue
The fire was lit first by Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate. Candidate Lee took part in a joint debate with presidential candidates hosted by the Korea Journalists Association held at MBN Studio in Chungmuro, Seoul on the followingnoon of the same day and aimed at candidate Yoon.
The topic of discussion was the 2030 Youth Policy, but the content was related to Yun’s wife. Candidate Lee said, “There is a lot of talk that my wife is involved in the manipulation of the Deutsche Motors stock. There are tens of thousands of victims of stock manipulation, and this has absolutely nothing to do with fairness (Yoon said).”
Candidate Lee set a sharp edge in answering, “It has nothing to do with young people, but I will answer.” He said, “For more than two years, the prosecution has investigated related accounts and related persons in separate cases. “I have already disclosed all my accounts even at the time of the election,” he replied.

Justice Party candidate Shim Sang-jung raised the question regarding Lee Jae-myung’s spouse, Kim Hye-kyung. Candidate Shim said, “The mayor or the governor cannot have a person in charge of supporting personal affairs. This is the reason why the (problem) officer’s personnel right was the candidate’s own risk, not the spouse’s risk.”
He said, “(Officer Bae) worked as a secretary for 11 years, going back and forth from home. He made a secretarial office for his spouse from the mayor of Seongnam. He also entrusted the Daejang-dong business to Dong-gyu Dong, who has no expertise. The president is the supreme authority, and public authority should not be used privately. “If you use the right to personnel close to family members lightly and carelessly, you will get in trouble,” he said.
Regarding this, Candidate Lee said, “It seems that a person with whom I had a close personal relationship entered a special position, so it seems that he helped with public affairs and received help from personal relations beyond boundaries.
Candidate Shim also raised the issue of Kim Gun-hee, the spouse of Candidate Yoon. He said, “If Kim’s other account related to the Deutsche Motors stock manipulation case was found and suspicious transaction details were found, disclose it if there are no problems.” Both are suspicious.”
Regarding this, Candidate Yoon said, “Prosecutor’s investigation materials were leaked to the media, and police intelligence came out with no clue what it meant. I explained everything.”
Offensive once morest Lee Jae-myung, from Daejang-dong to Baekhyeon-dong
In the second discussion, the development of Baekhyeon-dong in addition to the Daejang-dong mentioned in the first was also raised. In particular, Candidate Yoon mentioned the controversy that Seongnam City granted preferential treatment by granting permission to raise the species following purchasing land at the Baekhyeon-dong Food Research Institute by private parties.
Candidate Yoon said, “After rejecting the change of use (the site) twice, Lee’s legal affairs secretary and Seongnam City predecessor director were recruited into the development and implementation company, so he quickly jumped four steps to become a quasi-residential residence.” He pointed out, “I received regarding 300 billion won in preferential treatment and lowered the rental housing ratio to one-tenth.”
He said, “It is said that even the head of the Korea Forest Service is seeing a 50-meter retaining wall for the first time.” “Is it fair and normal administration to give certain contractors hundreds of billions of won in astronomical profits, and to make thousands of residents live in dangerous places and not be completed?”

In response, Candidate Lee said, “It is not true that he is a secretary,” and when Candidate Yoon asked, ‘Didn’t you do it?’, he said, “It was a falling election in 2006. It’s been a while, and he’s someone I can’t communicate well with.”
Candidate Yoon also mentioned the Doosan controversy. He said, “The site of Doosan Hospital in Jeongja-dong, Bundang was changed to an industrial site of 3,000 pyeong. Acquired for 7.2 billion won soared to hundreds of billions of won, so Doosan solved the financial difficulties with 110 billion won in secured loans. It is difficult to comprehend that a company that needs to receive a collateral loan is paying more than 4 billion won, and it is difficult to do it regardless of the cost,” he pointed out.
Candidate Yoon continued, “If you look at Seongnam City’s regulations, executives receive a 10 to 20 percent bonus, and the mayor of Seongnam decides to attract sponsorship money. Candidate Lee received 16.5 billion won in sponsorship while serving as the mayor, so why can’t you reveal where it was used and to whom the bonus was paid?” he emphasized.
Regarding this, Candidate Lee said, “Can a company change (use) what was left as a breastbone for 30 years, so a company came in and recovered more than 30 billion won? I did it all,” he said.
Yoon Seok-yeol ‘frustrated’ at Shim Sang-jung’s “Kkondae Labor Center” pointed out
There was also a war of words between the candidates regarding labor policy.
First, candidate Ahn Cheol-soo asked Yoon Seok-yeol regarding the labor director system of public institutions. Candidate Ahn said, “Last time, I said that I was in favor of the labor director system, but following conducting an actual investigation, 15 of the 26 labor directors of 20 public companies under Seoul were from the Confederation of Trade Unions, and 7 were from the Korean Federation of Trade Unions. ” he said.
Then he asked, “Are you still in favor of the labor director system?”
Candidate Yoon said, “Because public institutions belong to the people, people who are in a different position from those appointed by the government should become cadres and control moral hazard. The same thing would not have happened.”

When Candidate Ahn made clear his opposition to the introduction of the labor board system, Candidate Sang-Jeong Shim jumped in.
Candidate Shim said, “I don’t understand why Candidate Ahn strongly opposes the labor director system.” “If an outside director is appointed while receiving a large sum, the labor director system means that the stakeholders directly participate in the management, rather than standing as an assistant to the manager or company owners,” said Candidate Shim. .
He said, “The labor director system is of course correct and should be expanded to the public as well as the private sector. pointed out
Candidate Shim emphasized, “In this context, one should become a labor director.
Candidate Shim also pointed out candidate Yoon Seok-yeol. Candidate Yoon was furious when he mentioned the ‘Kkondae Labor View’.
Referring to the first round of discussions, Candidate Shim said, “(Candidate Yoon’s) view of labor is too naive. If he becomes a president with a backward outlook on labor, Korea will break away from the ranks of advanced countries.” He asked if it would be necessary to introduce a four-day week system like the world’s advanced countries and innovative companies.
Candidate Yoon then said, “What is the attitude of asking stupid questions with false facts? If you’re going to ask a question like that, don’t ask.” Candidate Shim responded, “Why are people who majored in law so truthful? Is it justified for everyone to tell the media and cry?”
The onslaught continued when Candidate Yoon responded with a reservation to the four-day week, saying, “We have to examine the reality of the industry.” Candidate Shim said, “I agree with (Candidate Yoon) talking regarding dynamic innovative competition and super-gap technology. However, they are trying to tie only labor to the level of developing countries,” he said.
He continued, “The four-day work week system does not just reduce working hours, but improves productivity and is an innovation plan for a better Korea,” he said. There is no reason not to do it in our country. “If South Korea is to become a leading country, we need to change Candidate Yoon’s perception of a developing country first,” he emphasized.
Lee Jae-myung “I’m sorry for the satellite party”… Sim Sang-jung “Paste and mortal sin once morest the people”
Candidate Jae-myung Lee said, “In order for politics to take one step further, it is essential to properly reflect the political will of the people.
He said, “I was in a difficult situation when I opposed the creation of a proportional satellite party in the past,” he said. Then, he asked Candidates Shim and Yoon, “If you make a law to ban satellite parties, do you have any plans to join?”
Candidate Shim pointed out, “Of course I need to apologize to myself, but the last election reform betrayed the aspirations of the Candlelight Citizens.” He also emphasized, “It is the right attitude to actively make improvements.”
Candidate Yoon dismissed Lee’s proposal, linking the suspicion of preferential treatment for Daejang-dong development aimed at Lee, saying, “It is the same as saying that we should not return excess profits, give astronomical benefits to anyone, and create a method to recover excess profits later.”
He continued, “If you deviate from political morality and style, you have to take responsibility first.”
