Yang Su-seung attended the National Assembly's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee's parliamentary audit on the 13th as a reference.
Yang Chi-seung signed a lease with A in 2019 and opened a gym in a commercial building in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. He invested hundreds of millions of won to remodel, but closed his gym in November 2022 when the Gangnam-gu Office ordered him to leave. The building is a public facility built under the condition of 'Donation Payment' that a private business operator builds a building, uses it for a certain period of time, and attributes it to the state or local government for free, and the management and operation rights were to be transferred to the Gangnam-gu Office after the end of the free use period for 20 years. However, Mr. A signed a contract with Mr. Yang without informing him of this.
When asked if he had been informed of precautions for donation buildings by Gangnam-gu District Office, Mr. A, and a real estate agent, Yang Se-seung replied that not all tenants had been guided. The tenants signed the contract thinking that it would be much safer because the state ran it, but it was the opposite. Rather, most tenants have become criminals because we have filed criminal charges against them for using public property without permission."

The fern is "There are too many people who feel wronged. I came out to announce it. There were too many lies and tricks. I had to protect the tenant, but there was nothing like that. I thought that if developers and public officials colluded, a new lease fraud could come out. Many people are facing bankruptcy, but they are suffering a lot, such as becoming a criminal. On the contrary, the developer and Mr. A took everything from the deposit to the rent management fee, but there were no sanctions" raised his voice.
In response, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Yun-deok recognized that tenant protection was insufficient in private investment projects. We will come up with measures to improve the system and strengthen public relations so that damage does not recur", he apologized.
