President Lee Jae-myung on the 31st posted three messages on his social media (SNS) X (formerly Twitter) account and mentioned ▲ real estate stabilization ▲ a whistleblower reward system ▲ development near Jongmyo.
Introducing an article titled "Have homeowners waved the white flag? Seoul apartment prices hit the brakes," the president wrote on his X account that day, "Does it seem impossible to normalize the 'nation-ruining real estate'? If you trust the people without calculating votes and accept criticism, it will be done." The article said Seoul apartment prices edged down after the government raised the possibility of reviewing a real estate tax overhaul.
The president also wrote, "Normalization of illegal valleys = valley maintenance, complete," and "Normalization of the stock market where law denial ran rampant = 5,000 points, opening," adding, "Normalizing real estate is much easier and more important than 5,000 points or valley maintenance." He continued, "I hope you seize the opportunity when you have it. You will soon find that this was the last opportunity." The remarks were interpreted as a warning aimed at some speculative multiple-home owners, citing his past project as Gyeonggi governor to clear illegal facilities in valleys and streams and the recent activation of the stock market.
Including this, the president posted a total of three messages by 8 a.m. that day. Introducing an article titled "No to high-rise development in front of Jongmyo, but yes to housing development next to Taereung," he wrote, "Is high-rise development in front of Jongmyo allowed, and is housing supply next to Taereung not? On the same issue, there are opposite positions—what is the difference?"
The president also posted an article saying that in the United States the reward for whistleblowers on misconduct such as stock manipulation is far larger than in Korea, leaving the comment, "A bold whistleblower reward system, we should definitely adopt it too, right?"
