[Breaking] As President's Remarks End... Ministry of National Defense "Will Release Taereung Golf Course"

"No Discussion," Then President Moon and Prime Minister Chung Change Stance After Weekly Meeting Mention

[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] The Ministry of National Defense announced on the 20th that it will discuss the utilization plan for the residential land of Taereung Golf Course with related ministries and local governments.

In a text message sent to the press corps in the afternoon, the Ministry of National Defense stated, "Regarding the plan to supply housing by utilizing the Taereung Golf Course site, we plan to discuss with related ministries and local governments, comprehensively considering the necessity and urgency of expanding the supply volume of public housing promoted as a national policy, as well as the impact on military welfare."

Earlier, on the 16th, Moon Hongsik, deputy spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, responded to inquiries about related reports by saying, "As far as I know, there have been no discussions regarding housing supply around the Taereung Golf Course area."

However, as the ruling party raised the possibility of utilizing the Taereung Golf Course site, and the site was mentioned as a land for housing supply during the weekly meeting between President Moon Jaein and Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun on the same day, it appears that the position has changed.

Taereung Golf Course was opened as a 9-hole course on November 1966 under the direction of former President Park Chunghee, expanded to a full 18-hole course in October 1970, and the site area reaches 250,000 pyeong.
