[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] The image of a famous apartment covered with mold throughout the house was revealed, sparking controversy among netizens.

On the 27th, a post titled "The Worst Apartment Defects, It Brings Tears" was uploaded on an online community. The author attached photos and videos of the interior of an apartment covered in mold, stating, "This is an apartment from one of Korea's leading brands. Please check carefully before moving in, and I hope no one experiences the same misfortune as I did."

The author explained, "We repeatedly requested defect repairs, but no corrections were made, so we proceeded with a class-action lawsuit," adding, "Currently, no further measures are being taken due to the ongoing lawsuit," and "More than a year has passed since the lawsuit began, but there has been no progress in court, so the residents are bearing the damage themselves."

He continued, "The apartment is just over three years old, and the defects have been present since move-in," explaining, "The floor is a 2nd-floor pilotis, and the mold was caused by backflow from the shared air conditioning pipes," attaching photos of the apartment interior soaked with water. He also said, "It affects every room and even the living room dress room," and "We have inspected multiple times using an endoscope and attempted repairs several times, but the repairs were not done properly. Since there has been no action despite the lawsuit, I am posting this."

The post has received over 1,000 comments as of this morning (29th). Netizens responded with comments such as, "This is beyond repair; it looks like it needs to be rebuilt," "It looks like an uninhabitable environment; how could this be called a home?" and "This is not a defect but appears to be shoddy construction."
