Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Byun Chang-heum expressed his intention to resign on the 12th, regarding the responsibility for the land dumping of employees of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH).

Minister Byeon attended a general meeting of the National Assembly’s National Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee on that day and said, “We will make the best possible alternatives so that the people worry about the LH crisis can be solved, and we will take responsibility for the fundamental rebirth of the LH.” When it is not evaluated, I will not dwell on the seat at any time and will follow the decision of (Blue House).” Minister Byeon then lowered his head again, saying, “I am so sorry to see the shocking results yesterday.” The previous day, a joint government investigation team announced that a total of 20 public officials suspected of speculation were identified as a result of an investigation of the land transaction in the third new city with 14,348 employees of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and LH. All 20 of them are LH employees, and 11 of them were found to have been speculating on the land when Byun was in office.

However, when asked by Rep. Kim Eun-hye, the power of the people, “Have you expressed your appreciation to the President,” Minister Byeon replied, “There is no such thing.” When Congressman Kim asked again, “Do you have any plans to express your appreciation?” He replied, “I will consider various things to judge.” Meanwhile, Minister Byeon took office as Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on December 29 last year, and has been serving as minister for 74 days until this day.
