Assemblyman Song Eon-seok.
It turned out that the employees of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), who are receiving public criticism due to suspicion of real estate speculation on the planned public development site, received specially-supplied apartments provided to public officials who relocated to Sejong City by expedient way.
LH employees have been criticized for depriving end users of opportunities because they are known to have been provided with specially-supplied apartments while working for an average of 2 years and 6 months in Sejong City.
According to the data submitted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Rep. Song Eon-seok (Gimcheon, photo) of the National Assembly’s National Land Transport Committee, about 90% of LH employees who won the special supply of apartments to relocation agencies in Sejong City currently work in Sejong in the past 8 years. It has been confirmed that it does not.
Specifically, from 2012 to 2019, 311 LH employees, or 89.1% of the 349 LH employees who won the special supply of apartments for relocation agencies in Sejong City, left the Sejong Headquarters for reasons such as personnel appointments. Most of the LH employees were given special supplies when they were virtually unable to live.
In particular, until 2019, LH was the only case in which employees working at regional headquarters of public institutions received special supplies, leading to controversy over preferential treatment. There was even a case of working at the Sejong Headquarters for over 4 months and obtaining an apartment easily through special supplies.
According to data from the Korea Real Estate Agency, the average selling price of apartments in Sejong City, which had reached 234.79 million won in May 2017, rose 131.9% to 544.2 million won in February 2021.
In particular, in 2019, when the period for special supply of LH Sejong Headquarters expired, it was confirmed that 63 LH employees received special supply from the relocation agency. The number of special supply winners from just 35 in 2018 has nearly doubled in one year.
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 supply system to help migration deprived end users of opportunities and turned them into a means of speculation It is an obvious policy failure.”
