Lee Jae-myung attends the first 'Daejang-dong Preferential Trial' this year.

Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, remained silent by attending the first trial on suspicion of preferential development in Daejang-dong this year.

Representative Lee attended the trial on charges of breach of trust and bribery, which will be heard by the Seoul Central District Court today (7th), and did not respond to reporters asking whether it would be difficult to attend the court if the current situation is prolonged.

He then declined to comment on questions such as how he plans to respond to the election law appeal, which begins on the 23rd.

CEO Lee is accused of giving preferential treatment, such as approving the structure of the Daejang-dong development project, which is advantageous to private businesses when he served as Seongnam mayor.

In addition, he was indicted in March last year on charges of causing about 480 billion won in damage to Seongnam Urban Development Corporation.

Regarding the Wirye New Town development project, he is also accused of earning 20 billion won in unfair profits by informing private businesses through his aides.
