The Seoripul District is a public housing district being developed on a 2.21 million square meter site designated as a greenbelt, spanning the areas of Wonji-dong, Sinwon-dong, Yeomgok-dong, Naegok-dong, and Umyeon-dong in Seocho-gu, Seoul. The plan is to supply approximately 20,000 housing units. Since being announced as a new housing site candidate in November last year, the project has been moving forward with the goal of the first sale in 2029. There are also plans to expand transportation and commercial infrastructure in connection with the nearby Naebang Station area redevelopment project.

Minister Kim emphasized, "Although the amendment to the Special Act on Public Housing to expedite compensation is currently pending in the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, since it is expected to pass the plenary session this month, preparations should be made to begin the basic survey early next month as soon as the amendment is enacted."

Minister Kim also added, "Minimize inconvenience for residents throughout the entire process and actively listen to their opinions."
