Won Hee-ryong, candidacy for the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, “The 3rd rental lease law needs improvement close to abolition, and we will pursue a master plan such as enacting a special law for the first phase of the new city reconstruction.”
At the personnel hearing held at the National Assembly on the 2nd, Candidate Won said, “I will promote policies that give immediate supply effects, such as increasing the speed of urban renewal projects and delaying capital gains tax (for multi-home owners so that existing properties are on the market) and a one-year grace period as soon as possible. ” he said.
Also, regarding the 3rd Lease Act, which celebrated its 2nd anniversary at the end of July, he said, “Actually, it needs a fundamental improvement that is almost abolished.” We can make a good system by discussing it enough.” Regarding the reconstruction of the first new town, he showed a cautious attitude, saying, “First, we will enact a special law for the first new town and create a master plan.” Regarding the Busan Gadeokdo New Airport project, he said, “The environmental impact assessment process can be compressed, and the compensation and construction can be reduced by several years.”
At the hearing that day, suspicions were raised regarding the development of Odeungbong Park in Jeju City, which was promoted by Won during his tenure as governor of Jeju. In this project, a private company builds a large-scale apartment complex and park in the Odeungbong Park area. When the original candidate was the governor, Jeju Island overturned the position of ‘impossible to promote development’ and promoted it once more in a private special way.
Democratic Party lawmakers said that Won’s aides were involved in the selection of a private business operator for the Odeungbong Park project, and said that it was designed to bring excessive profits to the private sector. Regarding this, Candidate Won said, “Unlike the Daejang-dong project, the Odeungbong project (unlike the Daejang-dong project) paid the private sector the cost of park development and contributed 10 billion won to the public.
A fierce battle ensued over allegations of misappropriation of business promotion expenses. Democratic lawmakers pointed out that candidate Won spent excessively on business promotion expenses at a high-end Japanese restaurant during his time as governor of Jeju Island and falsely stated the number of attendees and the amount. Candidate Won said, “I did not use a corporate card for anything other than my public duties as governor.
