– According to the details of public officials’ property reports obtained by Rep. Yoo Sang-beom’s office, candidate Park acquired half of the shares (about 6424 pyeong) of 42,476 square meters in the forest, San 25-2, Yakmok-ri, Shenzhen-myeon, Yeongdong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do in June 1970. The Act on Special Measures concerning the Transfer of Ownership of Forestry (Act No. 2111) enforced from 1969 to 71, and the other half was acquired by Park Mo, who is believed to be a relative of Candidate Park. did. Candidate Park’s share is equivalent to 2,092 million won in the current announced land price (about 3,256 won per 3.3㎡). According to a nearby real estate brokerage office, the market price for forest fields in Yakmok-ri is 6,000 to 10,000 won per 3.3 m2 (pyeong), and 30,000 won per pyeong if the soil quality is good or adjacent to a road.
Candidate Park included the land in the property report of public officials when he served as the second secretary for civil affairs at the Blue House of the Roh Moo-hyun administration in 2003. However, the land was not included in the property report for 8 years until last year after being elected as a candidate for the Democratic Unification Party (now the Democratic Party of Korea) in 2012.

– In particular, if an election candidate omits a property report to the Election Commission and then announces it as an election publication, a false disclosure of facts under the Public Officials Election Act is established. However, the statute of limitations on the election law is 6 months.
In response to this point, Candidate Park said in a call with the JoongAng Ilbo that day, “I learned the missing facts through the Blue House verification this time. I have always reported the property of public officials through the secretary, but I was surprised that this part was missing.” . Following that, candidate Park said, “(Imya) is Seonsan with the graveyards of parents, great-grandparents, and so on.” I really didn’t know (missing facts).”
However, according to Candidate Park’s explanation, there is room for interpretation as that the Blue House enforced the appointment of Candidate Park even though the fact that the property report was omitted during the personnel verification process was revealed.
In addition, Rep. Yoo Sang-beom said, “When Candidate Park reported thousands of pyeong of forest land when he worked at the Blue House in 2003, he was aware of whether he owned the land,” said Rep. It is thick” he pointed out.
Candidate Park was tough on the report on the reduction of the assets of the National Assembly. As candidate A of the Saenuri Party (now the power of the people), who ran for the July 30 re-election at the time in 2014, was controversial to report property reduction, he was a spokesman for the New Political Democratic Association (current Democratic Party). . The prosecution must promptly and thoroughly investigate the accusation of the new political alliance. Mr. A’s report on the omission or reduction of his or her property is seriously stated as being ineffective.”
The issue of omission of property reports for members of the National Assembly was controversial in the 21st National Assembly. Rep. Cho Su-jin reported his property at 1.8 billion won to the Election Commission when he was registered as a proportional representative candidate, but after the election, he reported about 3 billion won, an increase of 1.1 billion won. Rep. Cho was prosecuted without custody, and the prosecution sought a fine of 1.5 million won, equivalent to invalidating the election, in the recent trial of the first trial.
