Why It Matters
Korea Land and Housing Corporation executives and employees may be subject to disciplinary action if they violate obligations related to property registration and restrictions on real estate acquisition.

Representative Kim Mi-ae "We need to check whether the level of disciplinary action is appropriate."
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Im Chang = All executives and employees of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) who violated obligations related to property registration and real estate acquisition restrictions were found to have received reprimands, the lowest level of disciplinary action.
According to data submitted by LH on the 11th by People Power Party lawmaker Kim Mi-ae, a member of the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee of the National Assembly, a total of 382 cases of disciplinary action against LH executives and employees were counted from 2022 to August of this year.
Among these, there were 27 violations of the duty of good faith in property registration and 2 violations of real estate acquisition restrictions.
By year, there was 1 case in 2023, 10 cases each in 2024 and 2025, and 8 cases as of August this year, and the level of disciplinary action was all reprimands.
There were a total of 13 disciplinary actions related to receiving bribes or receiving bribes or entertainment, including 7 dismissals, 2 dismissals, 3 suspensions, and 1 pay reduction.
Rep. Kim pointed out that it is problematic that disciplinary action was limited to a reprimand despite repeated violations of obligations related to property registration and real estate acquisition restrictions in public enterprises in charge of land and housing affairs.
In addition, looking at the status of the investigation of executives and employees from February 2022 to August of this year based on the date of first notification, there were 8 cases in which convictions and fines were recorded, 4 cases were transferred to the prosecution, 1 case was in trial, and 6 cases were under investigation.
Rep. Kim said, "Although LH is a large public enterprise with a budget exceeding 51 trillion won this year and responsible for the people's housing, all disciplinary action for violations related to property registration and real estate acquisition restrictions were reprimands. As violations of real estate-related obligations are repeated, we must check whether the details of the violations and the level of disciplinary action were appropriate."
