황희 ‘청년 버스하우스’ 논란…민주 “실현 불가능 제안, 진심으로 송구”

The Democratic Party's policy chief for youth has apologized sincerely for causing unintentional harm to young people with their "young bus house" proposal. During a press conference on September 9th, Han Jeong-ae stated that the proposal is "harmful and impossible to implement." The idea was proposed by President Han on July 7th in a Facebook post, suggesting that old buses could be repurposed as short-term housing for young people in university areas.

However, this proposal faced criticism from the opposition parties, who accused the administration of "pushing" young people. President Han later deleted the post. He emphasized his party's commitment to addressing the serious housing situation of young people and working tirelessly to find ways to quickly supply solutions. He also highlighted the administration's intention to focus on need-based support rather than supply-based support.

Meanwhile, President Park has been promoting the "marriage penalty reform," which aims to improve the conditions for newlyweds, including loan, purchase, and tax benefits. He expressed his intention to thoroughly investigate these issues and ensure that any proposed changes are fair and practical.
