In particular, construction sites involving Taeyoung Construction will be managed intensively and separately.

Taeyoung Construction, which recently filed for workout, is currently building 4,010 housing units across 9 LH housing and complex construction sites. LH is overseeing a total of 336 housing and complex construction sites with 79,751 units, of which Taeyoung Construction accounts for about 5% of the volume.

Additionally, LH stated that it will regularly monitor the payment status of wages and subcontractor fees to manage each site’s situation and prevent issues such as delayed payments of construction costs or subcontractor wage arrears.

Furthermore, under the supervision of the Quality Management Department, the headquarters and regional offices will jointly conduct special inspections and establish a continuous reporting system to strengthen construction site management. LH will spare no effort to safely protect construction companies and their partners from default risks and to support the smooth progress of projects.

An LH official said, "Construction sites involving Taeyoung Construction will be managed intensively and separately to prevent unnecessary market confusion in advance."
