Candidate Park Gyuntaek: "I Will Strive to Change the Name of Unnam Jugong Apartment"

Foundation Laid for Transforming Gwangsan-gu into a Luxury City

Park Gyuntaek, the Democratic Party preliminary candidate for Gwangsan-gu (Gap), Gwangju Metropolitan City, promised to change the name of Jugong Apartments, a long-cherished project of the residents of Unnam District, as a foundation to transform Gwangsan-gu into a premium city.

Recently, public distrust has grown due to repeated revelations of poor construction of apartments by Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) and land speculation allegations. Given this situation, residents of Jugong Apartments in Unnam District are demanding a name change to protect property rights and improve the image of low-cost apartments.

Candidate Park stated, “To change the apartment name, it is necessary to obtain written consent from 80% of the residents in the multi-family housing through the residents' representative meeting and get approval from the local district office,” adding, “We plan to collect residents' opinions from the initial stage of the project and support the legal procedures.”

He further expressed, “Realistically, obtaining consent from more than 80% of residents is not easy, so we will also work on revising related laws.”

Residents of apartments in Unnam-dong said, “District 1 (Complexes 1 to 8) has independently changed its name to ‘Mokryeon Village,’ and District 2 (Complexes 9 to 10) to ‘Yeongcheon Village,’ but the resident registration still records the address as ‘Unnam Jugong Apartment Complex,’” and they reportedly expressed their hope that the resident registration address be changed to Mokryeon Village and Yeongcheon Village.
