The 'Gyeonggi Safe Jeonse Project' is a field-oriented public-private partnership initiative that aims to eradicate jeonse fraud and establish a culture of safe jeonse contracts, in collaboration with certified real estate agents.

Since October, Gyeonggi Province has been soliciting exemplary cases from cities, counties, and districts within the province, comprehensively evaluating the proactiveness of project implementation, on-site execution, and citizen participation outcomes. As a result, Seongnam City Hall received the highest score among 13 cities, counties, and districts, earning the distinction of being awarded the top institutional commendation in the real estate management sector in Gyeonggi Province for this year.

In addition, Seongnam City Hall (Group D) and Seongnam Bundang District (Group A) were selected as the best in their respective groups, receiving individual commendations along with incentives ranging from 3 million to 5 million won.

Since September last year, Seongnam City has been working in line with Gyeonggi Province policy by forming and operating the 'Seongnam City Safe Jeonse Management Team' together with the Seongnam City branch of the Korea Association of Realtors, striving to prevent jeonse fraud and establish a safe housing network. This year, the Korea Real Estate Board's Lease Dispute Mediation Committee also participated, further strengthening the effectiveness of dispute prevention and relief procedures.

In particular, Seongnam City received high praise for its on-site, community-focused administration, which included operating consultation booths for jeonse fraud prevention and lease dispute mediation for vulnerable groups such as students and local residents, conducting participatory promotional campaigns for the Safe Jeonse Project, and monitoring high-risk areas.

Mayor Shin Sangjin of Seongnam City stated, "This award is more than just a recognition of administrative achievements; it is the result of collaboration among citizens, real estate agents, and experts." He added, "Eradicating jeonse fraud is not simply about real estate management, but about protecting citizens' property and precious living spaces. Seongnam City will continue to focus all administrative capabilities on creating a safe housing environment where citizens can sign jeonse contracts with peace of mind."
