There is an area of ​​about 36,000 square meters (about 6,000 square meters) called “Songhyeon-dong site” adjacent to Gyeongbokgung Palace. It's a heuristic, but I am very interested in who will be the new owner of the land.

Name Song Hyun-dong, Location Right next to Gyeongbokgung Palace, in the middle of Jongno.

Size 3,64,642 square meters (approximately 11,000 pyeong), the market price is estimated at 600 billion won, and the current owner is Hanjin Group.

Of course, the real estate industry is paying attention, and why is there a hot reaction from young people such as 'Create a park, cheer up the city of Seoul' in articles with vague modifiers?

During the Joseon Dynasty, the site of Songhyeon-dong had a forest that protected Gyeongbokgung Palace.

It wasn't a place for individuals to cross, but this principle was first broken in 1830.

In the late Joseon Dynasty, Andong Kim, Kim Byeong-ju, built a mansion as if he were looking at it, and then passed on to the pro-Japanese brother, Deok-young Yoon, and in 1919 became the owner of the Chosun Bank of Japan.

After independence, the United States occupied this place, and after a long time, it seems like ownership has been transferred to our government, but Samsung became the owner of the site.

Originally, it was attempted to establish an art museum, but it was next to Gyeongbokgung Palace and the school was closed, and Samsung eventually sold the land to Korean Air.

However, Hanjin could not escape the regulation.

During the former regime, the development of the site was almost realized as a government project, but the suspicion that Mr. Soon-Sil Choi was involved was not realized.

Even though it has not been utilized properly until now, it remains as a deserted field, but recently Seoul City has announced that it will be used as a park for citizens.

However, opinions are divided whether Seoul will be a financial resource to purchase Song Hyun-dong and whether it is best to use this land as a park.

[Professor Shim Gyo-Eun / Dept. Of Real Estate: (To all parks) It is too expensive to socially. If it is built for business or commercial business, it is the most efficient use of land. Wouldn't it be nice to create a public space that can be used by users?]

Song Hyun-dong, a forest that protected the Joseon royal family.

I am wondering who will be the new owner who will take full advantage of the value here.
