While President Moon Jae-in, who visited a 44m2 (approximately 13 pyeong) rental apartment, said: “In the case of one child, it is possible to have two,” Byeon Chang-heum from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation was controversial. It was confirmed that he lived in a villa and soon moved into a 40 pyeong apartment in Gangnam.

At the time, President Moon’s comments were criticized for being criticized for meaning that “a 13 pyeong apartment can live for a family of 4.” “I asked him a question about him when I explained it to him.”

According to the results of the analysis of the request for a National Assembly staff hearing on the 14th, Lee Heon-seung, Representative Lee Heon-seung, and his family lived in a semi-detached house in Sillim-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul since August 1999 to August 2004. According to the Jikbang real estate information platform, this semi-detached house is a two-story building built in 1977, with a total of 10 units of 44㎡ (13 pyeong) and 53 ㎡ (16 pyeong) each one, and 4 44㎡ and 53㎡ units each. It is made up of dogs each.

Candidate Byeon lived in type 53㎡ of this townhouse until 2002, and from 2002 to 2004, he lived in type 44㎡. This period was right after Byeon’s family turned four. Candidate Byeon’s wife gave birth to a second child in December 1998. Candidate Byun subsequently moved into a multi-family home in Bangbae-dong, Seocho-gu in August 2004, where he lived for two years. Candidate Byun’s first house in Bangbae-dong is believed to be less than 60㎡, with two homes on a 116㎡ floor.

Later, candidate Byeon moved into a 40-pyeong apartment in Bangbae-dong, where his two sons turned 8 and 14, respectively, in August 2006. It seems he decided he needed a spacious house for a family of four.

The current government is responding to problems like housing price instability and the jeonse crisis with solutions focused on providing non-apartment, non-Gangnam and rental housing. Land, Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Kim Hyun-mi said on 30 last month that the housing supply shortage was “planned to secure multi-family houses and villas and supply them as quality rental housing.”

Candidate Byun also said in a media interview in 2011 that “the government has to give preferential treatment to private construction companies and multi-homeowners to increase the amount of private leases, so they have no reason to offer the amount of cheonsei unless the price goes up. ” He said: “We need to solve the problem with expansion, the introduction of vouchers for low-income families and the rent cap system.”

In addition, candidate Byeon told President Moon at the location of a public rental housing visit to Dongtan, Hwaseong on the 11th, “If we can offer rental housing in stages to accommodate the growing number of children and the largest number of as children, will it be possible to become a residential staircase in rental housing?) “he said. The response was that President Moon said, “Even if you don’t necessarily own a home, you will have to make a good residential staircase that can become a good enough rental home.

Candidate Byun, who promoted public housing rental as a solution to the recent jeonse crisis and housing insecurity, personally changed the form of housing from coalition / multi-family housing to apartments, from non-Gangnam to Gangnam, for rental to private and from small to medium and large. I came.

Representative Lee Heon-seung said, “The fact that the candidate moved to a larger area on the Gangnam side with his children means that they already know the trend of housing demand in Korea and have practiced it.” To do so is to show the self-contradiction of the current government ”, he criticized.
