On the 13th, at 7:30 pm, at the south plaza of Incheon Juan Station on the Gyeongin Line. Citizens who got off the subway on their way home from work placed a wreath of white chrysanthemum flowers on the faceless portrait and offered a silent prayer. This is the site of the ‘Joint Memorial Ceremony for Victims of Charter Fraud in Michuhol-gu’, where around 100 victims of charter fraud gathered from Michuhol-gu, Incheon, Seoul, Gyeonggi, Pohang, and Jeju.
The joint memorial service was originally in the nature of a 49-year-old man for Mr A (38), who made an extreme choice without receiving a single penny of the 70 million deposit won last February. However, after experiencing the difficulties of life due to the damage of the charter fraud, Mr. B (26) on the 14th and Mr C (31) on the 17th extreme choices one after the other, which changed to a joint memorial ceremony. for the victims of the charter fraud’.
Even at the memorial site, the victims of the charter scam held signs such as “Strictly punish those involved in the charter scam organized in Michuhol-gu” and “Remedy for property confiscation damage through fraud, punish those who participated in the charter scam for murder right now,” and get signatures from citizens. That’s how great their social outrage about the charter scam seemed.
Mr. said D (45), a victim of charter fraud in Michuhol-gu, who attended the memorial service, said that the situation was not much different from that of the three people who made the extreme choice earlier. Mr D was also at risk of being kicked out without receiving a single penny of the 90 million deposit won.
Mr D received a charter loan of 65 million won before moving to the flat he now lives in. However, Mr D was shocked by the first charter fraud by the ‘Incheon Architecture King’ who owns 2,700 houses. Then, when jeonse’s loan failed, this time, he got a full credit loan to prepare a house, but the house was auctioned again.
He admitted that he was in a situation where he could not afford it, saying that only the principal and interest earned 1.5 million per month. Mr D said, “I barely survive by not eating and saving money.”
Ms E (43, female) had a similar situation. Mr E, who entered with a deposit of 65 million won in 2019, raised the deposit of 10 million won in 2021, two years later. However, the entire flat he lives in was auctioned off last month. The landlord set up a mortgage of 150 to 170 million won for each flat, including Mr E’s house.
Of the total of 136 households, 86 households, except for 50 owned by the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), will have to be vacated sooner or later if an auction goes ahead and successful bidder. Mr. said E, “I have 34 million won in my hand as the highest priority payment, but where do I go with this money?”
Ahn Sang-mi, head of the Michuhol-gu charter scam damage countermeasures committee argued, “Michuhol-gu is an organized and planned charter scam in which a person called the ‘architectural king’ colluded with 50 real estate agents, assistants brokerage, and construction management companies.” Chairman Ahn continued, “The three people who made the extreme choice of charter fraud are not suicides, but murders driven to the brink.”
