The People Power Party and Reform Party have launched the Metropolitan Housing Innovation Forum to coordinate housing policies and present alternatives to the Lee Jae-myung administration’s property agenda. The group will examine lending and transaction rules, redevelopment, property taxes and measures to expand urban housing supply, while gathering views from residents, experts and market participants. The initiative comes as home prices and pressure in the jeonse and monthly-rental markets continue to fuel public concern despite the government’s planned large-scale supply program. Broader cooperation is also emerging over an investigation into a suspected North Korean landmine explosion in the Demilitarized Zone, with independent council member Han Dong-hoon and Reform Party council member Lee Jun-seok joining People Power Party calls for accountability. Lee said political cooperation could deepen if previous divisions between the parties heal, raising questions about possible coordination before the 2028 general election.
