<Anchor> The



GTX-C line of the metropolitan express railway runs from Yangju, Gyeonggi-do, through Seoul to Suwon. However, as there is a growing possibility that additional stations will be built in Wangsimni and Indeokwon in addition to the original plan, the nearby real estate is booming.

<Reporter> The



price of apartments near Indeokwon Station, where the GTX-C station is likely to be built, is already on a steep rise.



[A brokerage office near Indeokwon Station: At least 5,000, at most 100 million (raised). The owners are collecting all the things now.]



Last week in Anyang Dongan-gu, where Indeokwon Station is located, the increase in apartment sales price was 0.99%, the highest in the country, and the increase is expected to continue due to expectations for GTX-C.



There are also areas where there is resistance.



Residents of Eunma Apartment in Seoul, where the GTX-C line is likely to pass underground, say they are concerned about safety because it is an old apartment even if it is built at a depth of 40 to 50 meters underground.



[Eunma Apartment Resident: In Handong, too, because the crack just went away, so I put an iron pole and it's in a place like this. No matter how deep the waves, we are insecure. It was struck by lightning.]



Residents near Cheongnyangni Station, which is only 2.3km away from the newly built Wangsimni Station, are also dissatisfied.



This is because the train speed may be lower than expected due to reduced station spacing.



[Residents near Cheongnyangni Station: You originally decided to go directly to Samseong Station from Cheongnyangni, but are you already adding something to a place where transportation is convenient?]



Some residents of the new apartments, which have not yet started moving in, even put up protest banners.



A situation in which the interests of local residents conflict over the GTX route.



Local public opinion is boiling over whether the GTX-D route, which will be confirmed at the end of this month, connects Gimpo, Buman, or expands to Gangnam as it is.



GTX, which is promoted to control house prices by activating the supply of housing in the metropolitan area by resolving traffic congestion, is a spark of resident conflict and house price instability.
