Gwangju's Seochang-dong Listed as Sechang-dong... Ministry Makes Multiple Typos in Preliminary Feasibility Exemption Application for 'Honam Semiconductor Cluster'
Opposition lawmaker Kim Doeup points out the error
Key site’s name written incorrectly
Seochang-dong listed as Sechang-dong
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s application for an exemption from the preliminary feasibility study for the “Integrated Fiscal Support Project for the Development of the Southwestern Semiconductor Cluster,” with a total project cost of 6 trillion won, was found to contain typos. Key details, including specific project objectives, were also inadequate, and the name of a key target location was written incorrectly, drawing criticism that the project was being pushed forward hastily.
According to the office of Kim Doeup of the People Power Party, a member of the National Assembly’s Trade, Industry, Energy, SMEs and Startups Committee, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy identified Sechang-dong, rather than Seochang-dong, in Seo-gu, Gwangju, as a key target location in its preliminary feasibility study exemption application. In the estimated budget section, it wrote “the Support Committee’s” instead of “the Support Committee,” and “project implementation” instead of “project implementation plan.”
Despite requiring a project budget of 6 trillion won, the project was prepared hastily, prompting criticism that the ministry had made numerous errors throughout the document. The southwestern semiconductor cluster project is one of three mega-projects, with Samsung Electronics and SK hynix set to anchor the development as tenants.
During a parliamentary audit on Oct. 6, Kim had criticized the project for failing to provide sufficient details on its specific cost estimates, preliminary studies, and consultations with relevant agencies and companies during the project’s development.

Kim said, “Although 6 trillion won in taxpayers’ money will be invested, it is unclear how the money will be spent, and the project lacks sufficient detail to meet the legal requirements. There is a serious risk that the resulting burden from wasted budget and inefficient fiscal management will ultimately be passed on to the public.”
