People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok said on the 24th, "Whether it's a 'gutdang' or an 'Agissi Party,' what Chong Won-o is doing is truly outrageous."

Jang said on Facebook that day, "The 'Agissi Party' proprietor is the mother-in-law of the head of a local media outlet in Seongdong District, and that outlet is a house organ specializing in praising Chong Won-o," and stated accordingly.

He went on, "Chong Won-o funneled 72% of the district office's advertising budget to that outlet," adding, "The leftists have all kinds of ways to line their pockets. Now they're even setting up a 'gutdang' to divvy things up."

Jang also said, "Thanks to Chong Won-o, 1,000 households that moved into a redevelopment apartment complex cannot even register their titles because the completion permit has not been issued," adding, "If this person takes charge of Seoul's redevelopment, will they build some bizarre thing at every redevelopment apartment to siphon off money?"

The People Power Party is raising allegations of "Agissi Party favoritism" against Democratic Party of Korea candidate Chong Won-o. The allegation is that while serving as Seongdong District mayor, Chong had the Haengdang District 7 redevelopment association make a contributed acceptance of a newly built Agissi Party facility worth 4.8 billion won, but after the building was completed, Seongdong District is refusing to take it over.

Oh Se-hoon's People Power Party campaign said that because of the Agissi Party issue, 1,000 households in Haengdang District 7 moved in last year but are suffering property damage because completion approval has not been granted.
