[비즈니스포스트] Lee Han-joon, president of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), took the first step in dealing with the Incheon Geomdan apartment accident by publicly apologizing.
In the case of the Incheon Geomdan accident, the current constructor’s decision to reconstruct the entire area is at the center of the topic. As the results of the investigation by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport revealed that the Korea Land and Housing Corporation, the owner of the project, did not properly play its role as a general manager from the design stage, follow-up responses are considered important.

On the 7th, Korea Land and Housing Corporation held an emergency meeting presided over by President Lee Han-joon at the Incheon Geomdan Project Group regarding the Incheon Geomdan Apartment Accident and decided to actively accept GS E&C’s decision to reconstruct the entire area and support the necessary procedures for promptly rectifying the accident. Korea Land and Housing Corporation also established a resident support task force with a vice president in charge.
It is known that high-level decision makers from Korea Land and Housing Corporation and GS E&C previously met in person to discuss the re-construction.
President Lee has been sparing about the issue of full-scale reconstruction. He saw it as an issue to respond to after the results of the detailed safety diagnosis, which he was conducting himself, came out.
However, in line with GS E&C’s sudden announcement of full-scale reconstruction, it is showing signs of responding quickly to handling the accident.
Incheon Geomdan Apartment is a public sale site ordered by Korea Land and Housing Corporation, and he is the general manager of the overall business from basic design service to quality control.
This complex is also the place where Korea Land and Housing Corporation’s own high-end public housing brand, ‘Andante’, was launched from the name. As a result, there is a view that the responsibility of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation will be heavier.
Moon Kyung-won, a researcher at Meritz Securities, said in a report on the same day, “The 550 billion won cost of reconstructing the Incheon Geomdan apartment announced by GS E&C is an amount that does not consider cost distribution with other construction companies and Korea Land and Housing Corporation. There is,” he looked at.
Bae Se-ho, a researcher at Hi Investment & Securities, also said, “As the cause of this accident is not just a problem with the constructor, but spans all parts such as design and supervision, there is room for sharing the cost of reconstructing the entire Geomdan apartment with Korea Land and Housing Corporation and consortium builders.”
Above all, it is difficult for Korea Land and Housing Corporation to completely avoid responsibility for the omission of rebar in the design stage, which was a direct cause of the accident.
According to the results of the investigation by the Construction Accident Investigation Committee of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Korea Land and Housing Corporation, the owner of the project, is jointly involved with GS E&C, the construction company, in reviewing and suggesting design documents that had problems with rebar omissions, and suggesting alternatives.
It is also understood that the approval part, such as changes to the design document, is ultimately the role of the client.
The underground parking lot of Geomdan Apartment, where the accident occurred, required shear reinforcement (rebar) for all 32 pillars due to the non-reinforced plate structure. The no-ryang plate structure is a structure in which vertical pillars directly support the slab, which is a horizontal water tank on the upper floor, without horizontal pillars supporting the load.
Previously, it was true that GS E&C won the order for Geomdan Apartment through a construction responsible CM method, but it also argued that the basic structural design part, such as the design of the underground parking lot multiangpan structure, is the domain of the owner.
At the announcement of the accident investigation results of the Incheon Geomdan Apartment on the 5th, Kim Gyu-cheol, director of technology safety policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, “The design is a structure that is finally approved by the Korea Land and Housing Corporation, the owner of the project.”

It was also revealed that Korea Land and Housing Corporation was insufficient in checking quality control on site.
According to the Construction Technology Promotion Act, the owner must check at least once a year whether the construction company is properly managing quality. However, it was found that Korea Land and Housing Corporation did not check on-site quality management, such as the quality of ready-mixed concrete materials, at Geomdan Apartment in Incheon.
The specific responsibility for the design stage and quality control is expected to become clear only after reviewing the final report of the Accident Investigation Committee and relevant laws and regulations.
However, it is a painful mistake that Korea Land and Housing Corporation was poor in basic quality control in a complex that advocated construction responsible CM and Andante brand application to improve the quality of public apartments.
Korea Land and Housing Corporation has been making great efforts to positively change the quality and market perception of public apartments for sale. In 2020, it also launched Andante, a high-end public housing brand, with publicity and service costs of over 8 billion won.
Andante is a compound word that combines the Chinese character ‘An’ meaning safe and comfortable, ‘Dan’ meaning solid, and ‘Tae’ meaning big. In addition, just as the musical term Andante means to walk slowly, it also means that we will always put safety first and construct leisurely without rushing.
Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong criticized on the 5th after announcing the results of the investigation into the accident at Geomdan Apartment, saying, “If any of the places, such as design, construction, and supervision, had fulfilled their assigned responsibilities, we would not have come to this point.”
Since Korea Land and Housing Corporation is a public corporation that is in charge of the government’s housing supply policy and is required to supervise the entire process of designing, constructing, and supervising public apartments, prospective tenants and the public are likely to reprimand them more heavily.
In an official apology on the 6th, President Lee Han-joon announced that he would quickly come up with a plan to deal with the accident, including follow-up measures, saying, “As president, I feel a great sense of responsibility for the unfortunate accident, and I deeply apologize to the people who will move in.”
President Lee said, “We will take clear and transparent measures so that no suspicion remains in the entire process.” promised
Korea Land and Housing Corporation is one of the public corporations that are already receiving the public’s negative attention. In 2021, when suspicions of land speculation in the new towns of Gwangmyeong and Siheung by some executives and employees arose, national criticism was raised, and then restoring public trust was cited as a key management task.
President Lee also made company-wide efforts to restore trust, such as internal innovation, from the time he took office as president of Korea Land and Housing Corporation in November 2022.
In his inaugural address posted on the in-house bulletin board in November 2022, President Lee said, “Let’s boldly innovate the areas to be improved and reward the people with better policies.” I will do my best as a gyeonmajiro.” Reporter Park Hye-rin
