[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Do Mun-yeol, Chairman of the Urban Planning and Balance Committee of the Seoul Metropolitan Council (photo · People Power Party, Yeongdeungpo-gu 3rd electoral district), expressed his welcome, saying, "With the confirmation of the rapid integrated planning proposal for Yeouido Sibeom Apartment, the long-stalled reconstruction of old apartments in Yeouido will become visible."

He also shared his special feelings, saying, "We have been frequently discussing and supporting the rapid integrated planning proposal for the Seoul city and Sibeom Apartment, and finally, the results have come out."

Yeouido Sibeom Apartment (108,800㎡, 1,584 households), completed in 1971, is the oldest apartment complex in Yeouido, which is over 50 years old. Although reconstruction has been prepared for a long time, the project was postponed due to the controversy over the 'Yeouido Master Plan' in 2018. However, reconstruction normalization was promoted after being selected as a target site for Seoul City's rapid integrated planning at the end of last year.

According to the confirmed rapid integrated planning proposal, Sibeom Apartment is expected to be reborn as a representative complex befitting the status of the 'Yeouido International Financial City' (up to 65 floors, about 2,500 households) and an 'attractive waterfront complex harmonizing the Han River and the city.'

Chairman Do Mun-yeol said, "Since starting legislative activities in July this year, I have frequently discussed and encouraged the rapid integrated planning proposal for Sibeom Apartment with national and departmental heads and working-level staff for four months, providing multifaceted support to ensure that the plan is established in line with Yeouido's status, including urging the Seoul city cultural facility plan," expressing his special feelings, "It seems that the results have finally come out."

He continued, "Although Yeouido has grown as a financial hub over the past 50 years, the Yeouido apartment district has become aged and neglected, and apartment reconstruction is urgently needed," adding, "In the future, during the district unit plan decision and maintenance plan decision process, the opinions of local residents should be listened to carefully, and administrative support should not be spared to prevent project delays," urging active roles from Seoul City.

Additionally, Chairman Do emphasized, "Yeouido should be developed in line with its status as an international financial center," highlighting the diversification of housing types and the introduction of complex functions such as cultural, exhibition, commercial, and business to support the international financial district in the Yeouido apartment district.
