[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the 21st, Seong Jang-hyun, Mayor of Yongsan District, attended the opening event of Yongsan Base and introduced the history of Yongsan Base to guests including Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun.

The 5th complex of U.S. military officer housing opened this time was a place where 129 households (16 buildings) lived together on approximately 50,000㎡ of land.

After receiving the land back from the U.S. military in 1986, LH built rental housing for U.S. military officers and operated it as rental housing until last year.

Seong Jang-hyun, Mayor of Yongsan District, said, "Although it is only a part, the forbidden land of the U.S. 8th Army Yongsan Base has been opened as a park," and added, "As mayor, I will fulfill my responsibility so that Yongsan Park can become a national unification park representing not only Korea but the world."
