Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Local residents in South Korea have engaged in protests against various infrastructure and construction projects. In Yongin, residents of the Gwanggyo Ssangyong Foreduen Complex 1 protested at City Hall to demand the cessation of a new 15-story residential housing project. Protesters argued the building would infringe upon privacy, views, and property rights. They also raised concerns regarding soil contamination at the site, which reportedly exceeds permissible limits, and cited safety risks related to inadequate pedestrian infrastructure. In Hongseong County, approximately 600 to 700 residents held a mass rally against the construction of high-voltage transmission lines proposed by the Korea Electric Power Corporation. Participants expressed concerns over environmental preservation, property rights, and landscape loss. Protesters alleged a regional disparity, claiming electricity generated in the Chungnam region is intended to supply the Yongin semiconductor national industrial complex in the Seoul metropolitan area rather than local needs. The movement received solidarity from representatives in several other Chungnam municipalities. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-03: Hongseong residents protest against high-voltage transmission tower construction Hundreds of Hongseong residents held a mass rally to protest the construction of high-voltage transmission towers intended to supply electricity to the Yongin semiconductor complex. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hongseong-residents-protest-against-high-voltage-transmission-tower-construction ### 2026-10-26: Yongin residents protest new housing construction Residents of Gwanggyo Ssangyong Foreduen Complex 1 in Yongin are protesting a new 15-story housing project, citing soil contamination, safety risks, and loss of view and privacy. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/yongin-residents-protest-new-housing-construction --- Cite as: South Korean local infrastructure development protests.
