Willingness to actively resolve real estate issues
元 “Careful approach without stimulation of real estate value”
The fact that President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol nominated former Jeju-do Governor Won Hee-ryong, a politician, as the first candidate for the new government’s Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, is interpreted as his will to consider the real estate issue as a political issue and come up with an active solution.
At a press conference on the 10th, President-elect Yoon introduced Candidate Won, saying, “I am judged to be the right person to supply enough housing to where there is demand, to stabilize the real estate market, and to design fair access and wide-area transportation systems, which are the core of balanced development.” . Candidate Won Won is a former member of the National Assembly for a 3rd term and has served as the governor of Jeju-do twice.
In the political circles, the possibility of Won’s standing was mentioned early on. This is because it has been evaluated that candidate Won won the trust of Yoon-eun by taking on the position of the planning committee chairman, which was not in the previous presidential takeover committee, following he was in charge of all the pledges as the policy director of the presidential campaign. In the course of the presidential election, he took the lead in raising suspicions of preferential treatment for Daejang-dong development targeting then-Democratic candidate Lee Jae-myung, earning the nickname ‘Daejang-dong 1st Instructor’.
However, there are many reactions to the selection of candidate Won as the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport as a ‘surprise greeting’. As the real estate issue was considered the biggest Achilles heel of the Moon Jae-in administration, there was an observation that experts with practical experience would be selected as the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport under the new government.
Regarding this, Candidate Won said, “I accept it as a meaning to play a political role that connects the people’s pain and expectations with experts in the land, real estate, and transportation fields.”
As the real estate problem becomes ‘political equation’, it is predicted that the ‘real estate power struggle’ between the ruling and opposition parties will intensify from the beginning of the government. This is because candidate Won is highly likely to undergo major surgery on the real estate policy of the Moon Jae-in government, such as promising to abolish the ‘Three Lease Act’ since his days as a candidate for the People’s Power presidential primary. Candidate Won said on the same day, “The part that unnecessarily stimulates real estate prices will be moved in a very stable and prudent direction.”
