In Seoul, Pojeong Hangang (128 units) located in Gwangjang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, will begin occupancy. It is a high-end residential complex with all units having a view of the Han River, which drew attention for its high sale price at the time of sale.

Kim Min-young, manager of Zigbang Big Data Lab, said, "The supply reduction trend is expected to continue in October, but this is seen as a temporary adjustment rather than a long-term reduction trend," adding, "In fact, large-scale occupancy of more than 20,000 units is scheduled for both November and December, so supply is expected to expand again."
