[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Multiple diagonal cracks have appeared on the exterior walls of public rental apartments in the Jeju Advanced Science and Technology Complex, prompting the project operator Jeju Free International City Development Center (JDC) to investigate the cause.


According to JDC on the 13th, among the 14 buildings (a total of 391 households) of Jeju Advanced Richville, a public rental housing complex in the 2nd district of Jeju Advanced Science and Technology Complex, multiple diagonal cracks have appeared on the exterior walls of Building 203 (27 households).


On the 11th, JDC deployed structural engineers to conduct a preliminary safety inspection and received results confirming that there are no urgent safety issues due to the exterior wall cracks. However, to identify the root cause, a detailed safety inspection will be conducted starting from the 16th, and measures will be established to respond quickly and thoroughly.


Additionally, depending on the safety inspection results, optimized repair work will begin according to the situation, with plans to tentatively complete all repairs by the end of October.


Furthermore, JDC will expand complaint channels such as the resident defect reporting portal and strengthen defect complaint handling and safety management to minimize inconvenience to residents.



In the second year since completion, diagonal cracks have clearly appeared on the exterior walls of the JDC public rental housing Jeju Advanced Richville apartments, sparking controversy in online communities with comments like "I thought it was a marble pattern."
