As the prices of apartments in Seoul soared to the sky, anxiety spread among the younger that it would be difficult to prepare my own home unless it is now, and’panic buying’ (panic buying) to buy apartments through’young chil’ (grabbing the soul). This was castrated.

As a result of the government’s successive measures to regulate real estate, the number of apartment purchases under 30s decreased from August, but the proportion of apartment purchases in Seoul, which accounts for all age groups under 30s, rose to the 40% range (40.4%) for the first time in August.
