The appointment ceremony was held at 2 p.m. that day in the first meeting room on the 4th floor of Seongnam City Hall.

The Housing Safety Managers appointed this time are licensed real estate agents with an average of 17 years of experience, recommended by the Seongnam City branch of the Korea Association of Realtors.

There are four managers for the Sujeong area, four for the Jungwon area, and seven for the Bundang area.

Each Housing Safety Manager in their respective districts will be matched to young people based on the area where they plan to live, providing specialized consultations to support monthly rent and lease contracts.

The consultation sessions are held every Monday and Thursday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Youth and Adolescent Affairs Office on the 9th floor of Seongnam City Hall.

The managers also help prevent rental fraud by reviewing official land and real estate records such as the certified copy of the land register and the amount of mortgage, and provide information about the intended residential area and youth housing support policies.

Youth can apply for consultations with Housing Safety Managers through the Seongnam Youth Information Platform.

A Seongnam City official stated, "Although access to real estate information has improved recently through technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the anxiety felt by young people who lack actual contract experience remains unchanged. The appointed Housing Safety Managers will proactively check for risk factors throughout the contract process, help prevent real estate rental fraud, and support safe transactions."

Last year as well, Seongnam City appointed 15 Housing Safety Managers, providing specialized consultation services on monthly rent and lease contracts to a total of 69 young people (86 cases) at the Youth Support Center in Sinheung-dong, Sujeong-gu, and the Youth Training Center in Jeongja-dong.

Among the 134,409 single-person households (35.1% of the total) in the Seongnam area, 51,015 are young people aged 19 to 39.
