What the Seoul Metropolitan Government did in the 1970s to push out shantytowns

140,000 people in shantytown sold their houses after receiving a memorandum from Gwangju City not to return to Seoul at the time of Seongnam City

The people who were sold moved in with the dream of getting their own house

When I came here, there were only empty fields at the foot of Namhansanseong Fortress, so I gave them a tent and told them to live there

No roads, no shops, no workplaces around here

But the problem is that the land was sold for 10,000 won per pyeong, and the contract was made for two years and three years of repayment

As soon as you get the sale, raise it to 12,000 won and pay in a lump sum

Eventually, the residents held it in and woke up

Destroyed a civil servant car that came to negotiate, looted the neighborhood, and stormed into Seoul

Since then, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has fully accepted the needs of the residents, and the incident has calmed down and Seongnam City was born

Some residents in Guseongnam area still have bad feelings about Seoul
