Hwasun County in South Jeolla Province announced on the 10th that, in response to continued inquiries from young people hoping to move into the 2026 “10,000-won Rental Housing,” it will first supply 23 currently vacant units and, after signing a business agreement with Booyoung Housing Co., Ltd., plans to additionally supply 100 new units.

The first round of recruitment for 2026 targets young people between the ages of 18 and 49 as of the announcement date. Eligible applicants must either have their resident registration in Hwasun County as of the application date or be able to move their registration to Hwasun immediately upon the move-in date. Applications will be accepted from the 13th to the 27th and can be submitted through the Government24 portal.

The 10,000-won Rental Housing project is a representative housing policy in which Hwasun County leases public rental housing and then re-rents it to newlyweds and young people for a monthly rent of only 10,000 won. The project aims to ease housing cost burdens for entry-level workers and newlyweds and to improve local residential conditions.

The housing units are located in the Gwangdeok District of Hwasun-eup, where supermarkets, hospitals, government offices, schools, and other living convenience facilities, as well as transportation infrastructure, are well established, resulting in high satisfaction among young tenants.

Over the past three years, a total of 2,605 young people and newlyweds have applied for 300 units, recording high competition ratios of 18 to 1 in 2023, 12 to 1 in 2024, and 11 to 1 in 2025. As of now, 153 young households and 124 newlywed households are residing there.

The first round of 10,000-won Rental Housing for 2026 is scheduled to proceed with a tenant lottery on March 21, followed by move-ins starting in May.
