Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) employees’ suspicion of speculation in the new city of Gwangmyeong and Siheung began with an anonymous phone call. The call came from the afternoon of the 24th of last month when the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport selected Gwangmyeong and Siheung districts as the sixth third new city.
In an interview with JoongAng Ilbo on the 4th, attorney Seong-min Seo, who held a press conference to expose the LH suspicion, said, “I know that the anonymous informant’LH employees bought the land in Gwarim-dong, Siheung-si. However, I was surprised when the announcement of the new city was announced. ‘Please check it out.’” He introduced part of the report. It is said that the informant even informed the specific lot number. Based on this information, Minbyun and the Participatory Solidarity investigated allegations of speculation by LH employees.
Attorney Seo Seong-min said, “The informant did not reveal who he is or where he belongs.” As a result of checking the land ledger in the region, it was revealed that several LH employees divided and purchased the land.
At a press conference on the 2nd, Kim Tae-geun, chairman of the Minbyeon Economic Committee, said, “(After receiving the report), we additionally checked the surrounding parcels for a day. From April 2018 to June 2020, a total of 10 LH employees and their spouses were 10. It was found that the land was purchased for about 10 billion won, which covers two parcels, 23,028 square meters, and about 7,000 pyeong.”

It is said that after the press conference, additional reports were continued in the private sector and participation solidarity. In particular, it is reported that there is a report on the purchase of land in 12.71 million square meters (about 38,400,000 pyeong) in Gwangmyeong and Siheung districts, which has become a problem. Attorney Seo said, “We looked at about 5.5% (7,000 pyeong) of the total, and 94.5% of the other parcels that we did not know are receiving additional reports. Even by the number of pyeongs, there will be at least 10 times the number of such cases,” said Seo. I’m guessing.”
Attorney Seo said, “The additional reports of speculation by LH employees have been almost confirmed,” he said. “We are going to work to check the incoming reports continuously while observing the entire government-level investigation and the police investigation process.” .
On this day, LH issued an apology to the public regarding allegations of speculation by employees. Vice President Chung-mo Jang, acting president’s authority, said, “We will conduct a thorough investigation of the land transaction status of employees and families of related departments for the entire 3rd new town in cooperation with the government.” I will make every effort.
