A lobby scandal involving Jeju apartment complex and the political circle has raised concerns. The victims' countermeasures committee filed a complaint against Rep. Moon Dae-lim on the 17th, claiming that he was involved in the scandal. On the same day, the committee held a press conference at the Jeju City Hall and claimed that a high-ranking official of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and Rep. Moon were involved in the lobby. The committee alleged that Moon received an apartment in the complex at a discounted price through an unfair process and that Rep. Kim Seon-kyung and former Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong were also involved in the scandal. In response, Rep. Moon released a statement, denying all allegations and announcing that he would take legal action. On the 17th, Rep. Moon said, "The allegations are groundless," adding, "I will take a strong legal action against the person who made false accusations." On the other hand, some apartment residents have been protesting in front of the Jeju City Hall since July 1, demanding a thorough investigation into the scandal.

The Ministry explained, "The reason for lowering the maximum power demand forecast for this week is that the heatwave has weakened compared to last week." The maximum power demand this year was 93,990 MW on the 24th of last month, and the power supply and demand situation is being closely monitored as it is expected to reach near the all-time high of 94,120 MW on August 7, 2018.
