Hundreds of millions of profits after working for 2 years and 6 months… LH employee’Sejong Special Force’ eliminated

Sejong City apartment special supply system (special work) requirements are strengthened. In the future, special supply opportunities will be granted only to employees of institutions relocating their headquarters in the metropolitan area to Sejong City. It is a follow-up measure to eradicate real estate speculation and prevent recurrence of real estate speculation announced by related ministries on the 29th of last month in response to controversy over real estate speculation by employees of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH).

The number of commandos is also limited to one per person. The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs announced on the 5th that the revised bill of the’Rules on Housing Supply’, which reinforced the system related to special services, was announced in the middle of this month and applied from June.

The Sejong City Special Service System was created in 2011 to relieve the housing shortage of employees by moving public institutions to the Happy City (Sejong City). However, contrary to the purpose, it was pointed out that it was transformed into a means for the property increase of public officials. As the price of apartments in Sejong City surged, accusations of being a’emperor’s special man’ only for public officials were also raised. In particular, it was found that high-ranking public officials who received special service had previously owned expensive apartments in the metropolitan area, such as Seoul, and made a profit of hundreds of millions of won through the Happy City special service.

There was also a problem with the unlimited redundant special work promoted by each project site. According to data received from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Rep. Song Eon-seok, a member of the National Assembly’s National Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee on the 26th of last month, 70 LH employees received an apartment special operation in Jinju, where the LH headquarters is located, and Sejong, where the branch office is located. Turned out to be.

LH employees who received special assignments worked at the Sejong Headquarters for an average of only 2 years and 6 months. Rep. Song said, “There is a fundamental problem with the system itself, including employees of the branch offices of public institutions that work in rotation as special supplies. The reason why the special service system to help migration has deprived end users of opportunities and turned into a means of speculation. It is a clear policy failure” he pointed out.

According to the amendment, institutions moving from outside the metropolitan area to Sejong City are excluded from the special public service system. However, it does not apply retrospectively to the Ministry of Small and Medium Venture Businesses and Chungnam National University Hospital, which were notified before last January. In the case of the Mid-term Ministry, the government relocated to the Government Complex Sejong, which is 30 minutes away by car from the Daejeon Government Complex. The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs said, “I had a lot of thoughts about the institution, but it was difficult to remove the qualification retroactively because a special operation occurred at the time of the transfer notice.

In addition, special service qualifications are granted only when the head office is relocated to Sejong City. If applied according to the amendment, there is no special benefit even if LH headquartered in Jinju City establishes Sejong Headquarters.

Corporate special benefits provided to strengthen self-sufficiency will also be strengthened. In the case of a general company, it is possible to have an investment of 10 billion won (excluding land purchase + construction cost) from receiving special work if there is only 3 billion investment, excluding land purchase.

In order to prevent overlapping special work, the special work qualification is also limited to once per person. The special construction ratio, which reached 40% of the total pre-sale volume (as of this year), will also be reduced to 20% from next year. From July 6, the duty to live for about five years is also imposed on special operations.
