“I come from the province and I can’t even dream of saving.”

Hyun-mo, 27, a first-time socialite who came from Jeonju, Jeonbuk and works in Seoul, is realizing the sadness of being a “fat lover.” This is because there have been many concerns about housing costs. The monthly rent that comes out of the monthly paycheck is a waste, but it cannot be avoided. Colleagues whose homes were originally Seoul showed a laid-back appearance to save their salaries, but Hyun simply envied those colleagues.
Mr. Hyun said, “I am living in a reverse trend of 50 million won for a deposit and 200,000 won for a monthly rent when taking a loan from a small business.” “He said. He said:” Even if I try to go to jeonse, the quantity has decreased and the price has risen so hard, “he said.” I am envious that my colleagues, whose original home is Seoul, do not have to worry about this. “.
Among the so-called ‘jigori’ newcomers who came to Seoul from the provinces, there are voices mixed with grievances that say, “I envy my colleagues who have a house in Seoul.” Due to the recent cheonsei crisis, the ladder from monthly rent to cheonsei is shaken, increasing the burden of housing expenses for the new homeless society.
Monthly rent and utility bills incurred … It’s hard to rent
The financial difficulties of office workers were also revealed in a recent survey. In September, Job Korea and Albamon surveyed 2,327 people, including office workers, Alba students, and job applicants, to see if they felt financially stable, and 62.7% of them responded that they were financially unstable. 18.4% of those surveyed responded that the reason for financial anxiety is that fixed expenses such as monthly rent, interest on loans and administrative expenses are high, followed by “due to a decrease in monthly income ( 23.1%) “.
Even though they receive the same salary, not a small amount of housing costs are going out of their monthly salary for newcomers from local communities. Thus, the vicious cycle repeats itself, making fundraising difficult.

The rookies who met with the reporter on the 10th spent between 500,000 and 600,000 won in monthly housing expenses. It means that more than 6 million won is spent on housing alone per year. Assuming the annual salary of beginners is 30 million won, it represents about 20% or more.
It was a common story that while co-workers living with their families in Seoul may receive extra money, those who are not new to the society seem to have fallen behind the starting line. Song Mo (27), who is entering her first year of work, said, “Although my spending is not that big, I spend 500,000 won a month on monthly rent, so saving is not easy.” “I’m just looking over my shoulder as I roll my money.” He confessed: “Even if I pay a little less than here, I also thought about moving to the province.”
I want to get into youth housing, but the rate of competition is fierce and competition is high.
The classic movement from a bird’s eye view. In the first youth housing recruitment in the station area, 1,337 people flocked to the 16 square meter exclusive area of The Classic Dongjak and recruited 19 young people, registering the highest competition rate of 70.4: 1. / Photo = Provided by the city of Seoul
It is not that there is no policy to solve the problem of first-time housing. The Seoul Metropolitan Government is developing a youth housing project in the station area that provides a residential environment for young people with poor living conditions. Youth housing is 60-80% cheaper than the surrounding market price, and a part of the deposit can be borrowed.
However, even this is a situation that beginners in society cannot overcome. This is because supply does not match demand. Kim Mo (26), who signed up for the youth housing tenant recruitment this year, said: “I applied for all the public rental projects such as happy housing and youth housing that can be challenged, but they only decreased frequently. Even if I try to see, there is no sale, and if I have a loan from the Small and Medium Business Administration, I cannot find a private room, so I cannot even dream of savings. “
In fact, for the station district’s first youth housing project this year, 4,030 applicants flocked to supply room 153, registering a competition rate of 26.3: 1. The 16m2 area of the Classic Dongjak in Noryangjin-dong, Dongjak-gu, attracted 1,337 people to recruit 19 young people, registering the highest competition rate of 70.4: 1.
Rent for two or three rooms of clerks has increased
The monthly rent burden of beginners in rural communities is increasing. Recently, due to the sharp drop in rental volume, the demand for a house is being driven by the monthly rent of two or three rooms in Seoul. Monthly rent for the two or three rooms, where first-year workers mainly reside, is increasing.
Looking at the Dabang real estate information platform’s ‘Dabang Rental Price Report’, the average monthly rent for two or three rooms with an exclusive area of less than 60㎡ in Seoul last month was 790,000 won, down 10 % more than 720,000 won a month. The average monthly rent for the two or three bedrooms has been rising since it reached 610,000 won in May.
In Dobong-gu (580,000 won), Nowon-gu (630,000 won), Geumcheon-gu (660,000 won) and Seongbuk-gu (670,000 won), which were relatively inexpensive, the monthly rent increased by 4 to 8% in compared to the previous month. Consequently, there are even voices of concern that polarization may occur among home-based beginners.
One aunt, a 29-year-old office worker, said, “The price of the house in my hometown is the same, but it is not a situation where I can get help from my parents because the price of the house in Seoul goes up.” said. And there is no choice but to create an invisible wall. “
