South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will conduct focused inspections at 75 private construction sites in the Gyeongsang region from October 19 through November 13. The inspections will target illegal subcontracting and unpaid construction-equipment rental fees through a joint support group formed with the Korea Construction Equipment Association and other organizations.
The operation is part of the ministry’s broader illegal-subcontracting crackdown and voluntary reporting period running from October 12 through December 31. The ministry has not provided further details in the available report on penalties or individual sites.
