The Basic Income Party's Yong Hye-in, nominated for the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, was reported to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency by the Citizens' Committee for People's Livelihood on 2026-04-02 for alleged abuse of power. ^[1] Joo Jin-woo of the People Power Party pointed out on 2026-04-02 that Yong Hye-in bought a house in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province in April 2021 and sold it to a Chinese national in March 2022 for a 20 million won profit. ^[2] Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party, stated on 2026-04-02 that Yong Hye-in's appointment feels unfair to the 2030 generation, comparing the situation to a lioness being attacked by crocodiles in the Serengeti. ^[3] The Citizens' Committee for People's Livelihood argued that even if the trip was official, Yong Hye-in's parents were not eligible to use the VIP lounge, constituting abuse of power. ^[4] Jang Dong-hyeok, a representative of the People Power Party, stated that a significant number of the over 10,000 illegal immigrants in Jeju are Chinese, though no evidence links this to the missing person case. ^[5] Joo Jin-woo, a People Power Party lawmaker, claimed that the Jeju police's request for an Interpol yellow alert indicates a possibility of human trafficking or organ trafficking involving Chinese criminals. ^[6] Rumors circulating on social media include claims of Chinese organization involvement, human trafficking, and warnings that it is dangerous to walk around Jeju at night. ^[7] The article criticizes the media for amplifying baseless rumors and creating a negative environment, comparing the situation to a 'Gueulboodia' (a portmanteau of Jeju's citrus and Cambodia's reputation for human trafficking). ^[8]
