Opposition lawmaker sells ministerial vehicle for 'carrot market'... "serious false sale vs criminal act"

The ruling and opposition parties engaged in a war of words over the actions of an opposition lawmaker who posted Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Park Sang-woo's official car for sale on the used trading site "Carrot Market" during the parliamentary audit of the National Assembly's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee.

Rep. Yoon Jong-gun of the Democratic Party of Korea revealed that he registered Minister Park's official car for sale in a questionnaire by the National Assembly, saying that there is a serious situation in which the seller's information is not clear.

Lawmaker Yoon said it took less than a minute to put the vehicle details on a false sale, saying that if you know the owner's name and number, you can enter the vehicle details differently from the facts.

Then Minister Park protested that he did not ask for understanding, and Kwon Young-jin, a member of the People's Power, also criticized that posting without his consent was a violation of the Information and Communication Network Act.

Representative Yoon explained that it was a legitimate act for policy inquiries, but Representative Jeong Je-sik refuted that it was a crime to post the vehicle number and owner as a minister.
