Meanwhile, horse racing officials point out that the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy raised the issue that "the horserace bans credit card payments for horserace purchases and treats them only with cash, which is contrary to the government's policy and is an impure intention to undermine the horserace society." In addition, the government legally regulates the use of credit cards at ATM devices at racetracks or over-the-counter sales centers as well as small purchases, and contrary to the government's policy, the need to make credit card payments for horserace purchases is a far-fetched claim that does not take into account the government's policy.

Representative Park Wan-joo pointed out that the same criteria for imposing farmland conservation charges on "agricultural promotion areas" and "farmland outside the agricultural promotion areas" are being applied. The Agricultural Promotion Area is an area designated by the city or provincial governor to efficiently use and preserve farmland, and although it restricts the use of land that is not directly related to agricultural production or farmland improvement, the standard for imposing farmland conservation charges inside and outside the agricultural promotion area is applied equally at 30/100 of the individual official land price, which is contrary to the original purpose of the system of restraining the exclusive use of high-quality farmland. The revision of the Farmland Act is expected to make use of the original purpose and purpose of the current farmland conservation levy system by allowing the application of the criteria for imposing farmland conservation charges
