Ruling party-gov't meeting over 'jeonse' scams

Land Minister Won Hee-ryong (C) speaks during a meeting with the ruling People Power Party over vicious "jeonse" fraud at the National Assembly in Seoul on April 20, 2023. Jeonse is the country's unique housing rental system, under which tenants pay a large lump-sum deposit, known as key money, to the landlord, which is then returned at the end of the rental agreement. Tenants do not pay monthly rent during the lease period but may also be unable to get their deposit back if landlords conceal their mortgage. (Yonhap)
