The government is infested with suspicion of pre-speculation by employees of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) in Gwangmyeong and Siheung, and concerns are raised that the government’s own joint investigation will end with’Yongdusami’. It is pointed out that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Minister Byeon Chang-heum, who are responsible for this incident, are leading the investigation to try to’cover my family’.

In addition, there are observations that the establishment of the Real Estate Transaction Analysis Institute (Analytics Institute), which has been stagnating due to this incident, will rather gain momentum, and the real estate industry believes that this can only increase controversy.



Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Byun Chang-heum is visiting the National Assembly on the 5th to meet with Lee Nak-yeon, representative of the Democratic Party, regarding the allegations of land speculation in the new cities of Gwangmyeong and Siheung by employees of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH).

According to the National Assembly and the real estate industry on the 8th, controversy is arising over the facts of the government’s joint investigation team on the LH suspicion. This is because of the suspicion that the prosecutor’s investigation or the audit of the auditor, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Tourism and Minister Byeon, who are responsible for the LH allegations, proactively investigate the allegations may be a preliminary stone for indulgences.

As the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport was included in the joint group, spokesman Bae Joon-young made a comment and commented, “Nine out of 10 cases occurred during the days when Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Byun Chang-heum was the president of LH.” “As a result, you have to be investigated,” he said. He also criticized the lack of investigation by the auditor and prosecutors, saying, “I requested an investigation into the truth of the LH incident, but I am trying to do an investigation of the facts devoted to the government.”

The ruling party is also pointing out. In addition, Democratic Party lawmaker Park Yong-jin said, “As the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and LH are receiving distrust from the people, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport should be removed from the investigation team.”

In the midst of the growing controversy without the need to do so, Secretary Byeon fueled himself with the infested public opinion. Minister Byeon said in a media interview, “It seems that the employees did not know the development information and bought the land in advance,” and “I bought it because it was not possible to develop a new city, but it seems that it was suddenly designated as a new city.” In the online community, reactions were poured out, such as “remarks that actually advocate for pre-speculation” and “is not the person trying to hide because there is a suspicion.” Democratic Party lawmaker Song Young-gil also exclaimed, “Minister Byun sprinkled salt on the wounds of the people with remarks that seemed to defend LH employees even though he had to feel a heavy moral responsibility as the chief secretary and former president of LH.”

As disbelief about’self-investigation’ grows, voices are growing that other measures are needed instead of the government’s self-investigation, centering on pan-opposition. The Power of the People Joo Ho-young, the domestic leader of the house, said that it could carry out a state affairs investigation based on the results of his own investigation, and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min also said, “There is a problem that President Moon ordered a thorough investigation into the Prime Minister’s office. The auditor or the prosecution should do it,” he said.

Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol also strengthened the prosecution’s rhetoric theory. In an interview with the press on the 6th, Yun said, “It is a crime of a ruined country to steal public information and speculate on real estate,” he said. “It is a matter that requires an immediate and extensive’investigation’.” “A lot of people are angry at this ridiculous injustice and corruption,” he said. “Corruption is spreading quickly, and it is the duty of the state to stop it.”

In the midst of this, the real estate monitoring and supervision organization promoted by the government has also risen on the cutting board. After President Moon Jae-in ordered “I will review the establishment of a real estate market supervisory organization if necessary for the effectiveness of real estate measures” in August of last year, Democratic Party Rep. Jin Seong-joon made the main idea of ​​the establishment of the’Real Estate Transaction Analysis Institute’. Initiated the'(Real Estate Transaction Act)’ on the service industry.

However, in the review report of the real estate market, the opposition party, and the National Assembly Land Transport Commission, there were concerns that’analysts can play the role of big brothers’. It is expected that this LH suspicion, which had been stagnant in this situation, could serve as an opportunity for the genius Il-woo to speed up the passage of the bill. This is because public opinion demanded a quick and clear finding of the suspected real estate speculation case.

There are also specific moves that can power the installation of the Analyst. The government was initially planning to launch the’Real Estate Transaction Analysis Planning Team’ as a preparatory stage before the establishment of the Analyst Institute this month. However, due to the LH suspicion, the government formed a joint investigation team to conduct a large-scale investigation of tens of thousands of employees of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, LH employees and their families, and a large-scale organization was first established to monitor and supervise real estate movements in public officials. Inside and outside the Kwanga, it is predicted that the joint group will function as a test bed as well as the birthplace of an analyst.

However, some point out that the problem is also led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. An official from the political power said, “If the results of the investigation are inadequate to the expectations of the people, even though the public’s attention is being drawn, a greater reaction may arise.” “Especially, if an analyst is installed in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport during his tenure as Minister Byeon, the opposition public opinion is It’s likely to get bigger,” he said.

City and Economy CEO Song Seung-hyun said, “In the end, the nature of this situation is a loss of trust in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and LH, and furthermore, public confidence.” It is difficult to solve,” he said. CEO Song Seung-hyun added, “For the purpose of improving trust, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Minister Byeon must withdraw and a group that can be checked, such as an appraisal agency or a civic group, should enter the public sector in the future,” he added.
