People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok disposed of 4 out of 6 dwellings.

According to the People Power Party on the 26th, Jang disposed of the remaining four dwellings, excluding the apartment in Seoul's Guro where Jang actually lives and the apartment in Boryeong, South Chungcheong, which is Jang's constituency.

Including the Guro apartment and the Boryeong, South Chungcheong, apartment, Jang owned a total of six dwellings: an officetel in Yeouido, Seoul; a single-family house in Boryeong, South Chungcheong; one-fifth equity in an apartment in Sangbong-dong, Jinju, South Gyeongsang; and one-tenth equity in an apartment in Hogye-dong, Anyang, Gyeonggi.

With the ruling Democratic Party of Korea attacking Jang as a multi-home owner, the remaining dwellings except for the Guro apartment where Jang actually lives and the Boryeong apartment in the constituency were disposed of. The single-family house in Boryeong where Jang's elderly mother lives was given as a free gift by changing the title to the mother, and the equity in the Jinju and Anyang apartments that the spouse had inherited was disposed of by giving it free of charge to other siblings. The Yeouido, Seoul, officetel was also said to have recently been put under a sale contract.

Earlier, Jang noted on Facebook on the 25th that "the apartment in Guro-gu where my family and I live and the apartment in Boryeong-si in my constituency cannot be disposed of, and I am worried because I cannot tell my mother, who lives in a country house, and my mother-in-law, who lives in an apartment, to go out on the street right away."
