Kim Heon-dong, president of SH Corporation, stated, "To regain public trust lost due to various accidents and construction delays in recent years at housing construction sites, public housing providers must take the lead in mandating post-sale systems. SH Corporation will strive to lead housing innovation and the supply of high-quality housing by proposing system improvements to enforce the post-sale obligation for public housing providers based on this trust."
