A special housing supply program for government workers relocating to Sejong City has turned into a "jackpot," guaranteeing them hundreds of millions of won in profit. Amid a backlash from other Sejong City residents who are suffering from soaring housing prices, the government is facing pressure to thoroughly overhaul the program.
The relocation of the central government to Sejong City started in 2012, aiming at promoting balanced growth between regions in the country where half of the population live in and around the capital. The prime minister's secretariat, and the finance and land ministries were among the first to relocate, and relocation is still ongoing with the small businesses ministry scheduled to move to Sejong in August.
