Yongin residents protest new housing construction

Residents of the Gwanggyo Ssangyong Foreduen Complex 1 in Yongin held a protest at Yongin City Hall to demand the cessation of a new urban-type residential housing project. The protesters argue that the 15-story building, located only 12 meters from their complex, will infringe upon their views, privacy, and property rights.

Additional concerns raised by the residents include potential safety hazards due to the site's history as a gas station and car wash, which reportedly shows soil contamination levels exceeding permissible limits. The residents also pointed to inadequate pedestrian infrastructure and narrow roads near local schools as significant safety risks. They are demanding compensation and the construction of alternative community sports facilities.
