Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, criticized the government's real estate and stock market policies on October 19, stating, "All citizens have become victims of Lee Jae-myung's Leading Room scam."
 
During a Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, Jang remarked, "While citizens struggle for survival day by day, this administration is only engaged in power struggles."
 
He pointed out that "apartment prices in Seoul have skyrocketed for 88 consecutive weeks, setting new records," adding, "Jeonse (long-term lease) has virtually disappeared, and monthly rents are soaring."
 
Jang further criticized, referencing President Lee's comments, saying, "If we follow Lee Jae-myung's words, we are experiencing a triple flattening," and noted, "The public's anger is also rising threefold."
 
Regarding the recent stock market situation, he stated, "Foreign investors are cashing in while the citizens who trusted the president are left looking foolish," asserting, "The entire nation has become a victim of Lee Jae-myung's Leading Room scam."
 
On the appointment of Lim Kwang-hyun as the president's chief of staff, he remarked, "The main culprit behind the real estate tax bomb has been appointed as chief of staff," and criticized, "The president is solely focused on devising tax bomb strategies."
 
In response to the Democratic Party's formal push for the impeachment of Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, Jang stated, "They know better than anyone that this does not even meet the criteria for impeachment," claiming, "The real goal is not impeachment but to suspend the Chief Justice's duties."
 
Jang concluded, "Even if they push for Cho's impeachment in the National Assembly, the chances of it being upheld are zero," asserting that the aim is to prevent the regular judicial appointments scheduled for February next year.
