Gwangmyeong and Siheung districts in Gyeonggi, where the total size of Yeouido is about 4 times, is almost attached to Seoul as you can see on the map.

Since the distance to Yeouido is about 12km and the KTX Gwangmyeong Station and major highways are also close, it has been frequently mentioned as a promising new city candidate area.



It turned out that LH employees intensively purchased land in the region from 2018 to last year, and reporter Jeong Da-eun compared the timing of the government's new city plan announcement and the timing of the purchase by employees.

total of 8 land transactions by LH employees, which were disclosed, began in April 2018 in Mujinae-dong, Siheung.



It was four months before the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced that it would designate 14 public housing sites in the metropolitan area.



In December 2018, the 3rd new city plan was materialized, and

Infrastructure and Transport (December 2018): It is a city that can be accessed within 30 minutes of downtown Seoul.

Four residential lands are located between Seoul and the first new city, connected to or very close to Seoul.]



At this time, in May 2019, Goyang Changneung and Bucheon Captains were announced as new cities, following four locations including Namyangju and Hanam.



Gwangmyeong and Siheung were always mentioned as leading candidates at the time, but they were omitted from the announcement, but LH executives and employees bought them in earnest from June 2019, a month later.



After LH employee Kim Mo bought the land in Gwarim-dong, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, LH employees continued to purchase land until February 2020.



It can be argued that it is the purpose of long-term investment, given the fact that it has always been mentioned as a candidate for a new housing site, but the circumstances such as the splitting of stakes into a scale that allows multiple purchases to receive land compensation is a subject to doubt about speculation.



They pointed out that the period during which they intensively purchased land overlapped the period when Minister Byeon Chang-heum served as LH President, and that Minister Byeon was not free from management responsibilities.
