"The architect is a dangerous road pavement construction Goo Hara" (Itaewon 2-dong residents' party)
An unfamiliar placard has entered a quiet residential area in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul. Residents have been condemning the owner of the road pavement construction Goo Hara in front of the luxury house where the new construction is in full swing for a year and five months since February last year. The owner of the house is Hallyu star Song Joong-ki.
It was in February last year that Song Joong-ki started construction of a three-story underground and two-story building on the land purchased in November 2016. As the building with a total floor area of 861.55m2 (261 pyeong), the construction period including the excavation was over a year. About 50 residents of Itaewon 2 have recently begun to voice their voices publicly, saying, "Song Joong-ki has neglected construction noise and safety issues and can not be seen anymore."
The problem was that in December last year, the contractor who was in charge of the Song Joong-ki housing construction changed the relatively flat The road to slope in the process of road pavement construction. The road side part which is in contact with the parking lot of the house in the corresponding road is 30 ~ 50cm higher than the existing The road.
One resident said, "It seems that the slope was made to connect the parking lot, but the narrow The road became more dangerous and the damage such as scratching the bottom of some vehicles was seen. "On the 15th of last month, a truck carrying a load, The Cost, climbed The road and slipped backwards with the front wheels heard and suffered an accident that hit the structure. There were no casualties, but residents complained that it was a "predicted accident with a high possibility of recurrence."
The Songsan District Office The road Traffic Department said that Song Joong-ki has been illegally cleared by the ward office in the process of road pavement construction, and that there are several documents that require The road to be restored to its original state. The road scene, which the reporters confirmed on the 1st, was not yet restored.
Song Joong-ki said in a ward office that Goo Hara received an order and reported the plan to the Yongsan District Office and explained it directly to the complaints.
The contractor said, "complaints that The road was narrow in the first place and it was difficult to pass the two cars, and Song Joong-ki conceded his estate to the residents and widened The road. "The high slope will soon be restored, but I think it is frustrating whether it is raising another problem about the part including private land." In addition, the official said, "It is an accident caused by overload of waste vehicles, but there is no relation with The road pavement."
Some residents are also complaining about safety and noise issues.
Another resident said, "The residents organized the flower bed, but the back screen of the construction site was not properly installed, so the drill was dropped nearby and it was almost a big deal. The noise that lasts for over a year is also really painful. Song Joong-ki's main gate is Itaewon 1-dong, which is full of large-scale mansions, and Itaewon 2-dong, which is in contact with the parking lot. Villas and small houses are the main. I wonder if we would have left it so dangerous even if we were the residents of the first building. "
Song Joong-ki's agency, High Story D & C, said in a telephone conversation with reporters on the 2nd, "It was inevitable to build it, but I think I should have been more careful. I know well about various complaints and I will correct them as soon as possible. "
