Hwaseong to Pay 6.6 Billion Won in Compensation to 28,707 Residents Affected by Military Noise

Hwaseong Special City in Gyeonggi Province announced on August 13 that it plans to pay approximately 6.6 billion won in compensation to 28,707 residents living in areas affected by military noise by the 31st.

The recipients are residents who lived in noise countermeasure zones designated by the Ministry of National Defense between January and December of last year.

The list also includes some residents who applied retroactively after failing to apply for compensation the previous year.

Previously, Hwaseong City held the Regional Noise Countermeasure Deliberation Committee in May to review and resolve the compensation recipients and scale for last year.

For the 39 residents who filed objections, separate reviews will be conducted, and their compensation will be finalized and paid by October.

Hwaseong Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun said, "We will meticulously oversee the payment procedures so that residents affected by military noise can receive rightful compensation," adding, "We will continue to devise practical support measures for the affected residents moving forward."
