[단독] The daughter of the city council also bought the land before the announcement… “No information”

However, as a result of our interviews, it was confirmed that not only LH employees but also the daughter of Siheung city councilors bought land in the area and built a two-story house there. The city council clarified that the development information was not known in advance.

Reporter Jeon Hyeong-woo covered it alone.

It is a two-story building in Gwarim-dong, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do.

In September 2018, a woman in her late 20s bought 111 square meters of land for 100 million won.

It was two weeks before the announcement of the 3rd new city plan.

It was a narrow, triangular land next to the waste treatment plant, so it remained empty. After 7 months of purchase, the woman changed its use from forest to land and built a building.

With the Gwangmyeong Siheung area selected as the sixth third new city last month, this woman is eligible to receive the right to sell a shopping mall.

The woman’s mother is Siheung City Councilman A of the Democratic Party.

Member A is a member of the city council’s committee on urban development and housing supply from the time the land was purchased to the present, raising controversy over conflicts of interest.

Congressman A said that the site was introduced through a real estate he knew and that his daughter had been invited to purchase it.

However, he explained that he only lent 5 million won to his daughter to buy the land, and that the remaining amount was raised with money and loans that the daughter had raised by himself.

In addition, there was a vague expectation that Guarim-dong would be included in the 3rd new town someday, but he explained that it was not purchased in advance after obtaining information.

Although the government is planning a thorough investigation of employees such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, local governments, and LH, local council politicians were not included in the survey.
