Cho Kuk, leader of the Rebuilding Korea Party, said at a New Year's press conference on the 4th, "Let's use the site of Seoul Airport (in Seongnam, Gyeonggi) to supply about 60,000 units of public rental housing."
Cho said, "If we use the Seoul Airport site, we can create Korea's most smart housing complex and public infrastructure where the two axes of the Gangnam–Songpa–Pangyo belt and the Wirye–Seongnam belt are connected."
Cho said, "Korea's overarching problem is real estate," adding, "We will push legislation to supply 120,000 units of high-quality public rental housing."
Cho proposed building the 120,000 units of public rental housing by using public land in the Seoul metropolitan area, including Seoul Airport, Yongsan Park, the legal complex in Seocho District where the Supreme Court and the Supreme Prosecutors' Office are located, the Seoul Regional Public Procurement Service, Taereung Golf Course, the Korea Military Academy, and the Western Driver's License Test Center.
Meanwhile, regarding the Democratic Party of Korea's alleged acceptance of nomination funds in the 2022 local elections, Cho said, "Clean it up completely without a speck of dust and move on." He added, "We must use this opportunity to carry out the political reform the public wants and cut off the buds of 'money nominations' and 'connections-based nominations.'"
