This crackdown aims to eradicate illegal "tteottabang" operations, brokerage activities by unregistered or unqualified individuals, and illegal brokerage activities conducted outside of authorized offices, all of which may occur during the transaction of purchase rights.

Wonju City will deploy regulatory officials and special judicial police officers to intensively monitor areas around the sales office, online advertisements, and on-site activities. In particular, the city plans to enhance effectiveness by also conducting undercover inspections.

Additionally, in accordance with relevant laws, the city will respond strictly to illegal activities through strong administrative measures and criminal complaints.
