이 집이 빈집이라고요? [리부팅 지방시대] / 연합뉴스TV (YonhapnewsTV)

A magnificent Hanok built with care and costing hundreds of millions of won, and a villa with a fantastic view overlooking Mt. Mudeung! These houses look so perfectly fine on the outside that you'd want to live in them right away... but can you believe that they are actually all 'empty houses'? "While Seoul is in an uproar over the lack of housing, perfectly usable homes in the provinces are being left completely empty at this very moment." In the episode "Rebooting the Era of the Provinces: Is This a Vacant House?", we vividly captured the reality of vacant houses in Damyang, South Jeolla Province, and Jecheon, North Chungcheong Province. From homes in the old city center with excellent surrounding infrastructure to country houses filled with the romantic dream of a traditional Korean fireplace that everyone dreams of at least once! But why are these charming homes being neglected and unable to find owners? The reality of managing a country house that is unaffordable despite the exorbitant construction costs, the issue of an aging population that forces people to move closer to hospitals as they age, and above all, multi-home ownership regulations that turn country houses into 'tax bombs.' We examine the bitter reality of South Korea's real estate market hidden within these vacant provincial homes." However, it is not all despair! Along with the amazing sight of an abandoned 1960s house undergoing a dramatic transformation into a trendy, atmospheric café, we also explore realistic alternatives to turn these vacant houses into opportunities for youth entrepreneurship and rural migration. How to prevent regional extinction and turn vacant houses into new assets—check out the full video now!
