Support for victims of 'jeonse' scams

Protesters hold up signs calling for the auctions of affected homes to be postponed as a civic group supporting victims of a series of home rental scams under the country's "jeonse' housing rental system stages a protest rally in front of a district court in Incheon, west of Seoul, on April 21, 2023. Under the system, 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)
