Kang Shin-chul, a nominee for Minister of National Defense, faces fresh allegations that at least four family members obtained evictee status through coordinated residency and ownership arrangements tied to Seoul redevelopment projects. Representative Chun Ha-ram of the Reform Party said Kang, his father, older brother and aunt pursued similar special allocations, with Kang, his father and brother each receiving a Seoul apartment. Kang registered at a vacant family house in Guro-gu on March 21, 2008, while serving in Hwacheon; his father registered at the same address before moving to a neighboring house three days later. The Yeongdeungpo Alternative Correctional Facility project was announced 20 days afterward, followed by a compensation plan six days later. Kang later received an apartment in Seocho Nature Hill 3 Complex, while his father received one in Complex 2. Kang’s apartment, originally priced at 520 million Korean won, is now valued at approximately 2.2 billion won. Chun also alleged that Kang’s father transferred his Jeju home for free to satisfy a one-homeowner requirement before repurchasing it two years later for 300,000 won. The allegations expand earlier scrutiny of the family’s redevelopment-related property holdings, including the father’s reported apartment value above 2 billion won and a Bundang commercial property purchased by Kang’s son with borrowed funds. Kang’s side previously denied fraudulent use of the allocation but acknowledged shortcomings in matching actual residences with registered addresses.
