Yoo switched pencils and carefully added color.

At the audit that day, Yoo criticized the Lee Jae-myung administration's Oct. 15 real estate measures, saying, "For those who have not been able to buy a home, it brings despair; for homeowners, it induces anxiety; and for tenants, the jeonse crunch is forcing them into monthly rent."

Yoo added, "The government must remember that cutting off one Vice Minister will not solve the problem."
