Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon and Kim Yong-beom, head of the Presidential Policy Office, held a lunch meeting on August 5 to discuss housing supply strategies.
According to the Seoul city government, the agenda for the meeting focused on housing-related issues. It is believed that Mayor Oh and Kim exchanged views on the supply scenarios being prepared by the government.
Earlier, on July 19, Kim mentioned housing supply plans during an appearance on KBS's 'Sunday Diagnosis,' stating, "This is not just a problem for Seoul; collaborating with the central government could yield much greater results, so I have arranged to meet with Mayor Oh separately."
President Yoon Suk-yeol chaired a 7.5-hour meeting on real estate and stock market assessments on August 3, the day he returned from a trip to the U.S. and South America.
During that meeting, President Yoon instructed, "We must secure as many housing units as possible to ensure rapid supply, while also exploring available administrative measures and financial, fiscal, and regulatory relaxations to realize swift supply."
Meanwhile, Chief Spokesperson Kang Yu-jeong announced on August 5 that President Yoon will chair a second meeting on real estate policy review, as directed during the August 3 meeting, on August 7 at 2 p.m. in a closed session.
