Daejang-dong Development Dispute Flares Again as Yoo Demands Park Apologize

Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok demanded that Park Chan-dae, the Democratic Party’s candidate for Incheon mayor, apologize to citizens after Park mentioned in a local media interview the idea of benchmarking the Daejang-dong model. Yoo criticized the development project, promoted when President Lee Jae-myung was mayor of Seongnam, saying that “Daejang-dong development that ignored the public interest is not a creative success story.” He also said Park’s remark showed that he was “only looking behind the president.” The exchange is expected to feed debate in the Incheon mayoral race over development models and public interest.
