SEOUL APRIL 2021

Apartment prices in Seoul are setting record highs for the 40th week running.

In response to the skyrocketing prices,

the government has forecast heavy-handed loan regulations.

All-in buyers are maxing out everything they have,

fearing this is their last chance to own a property in Seoul…

Do you think I'm late on purpose? I told you, I took time off work for this.

Yeah, I'm almost there.

I'm right out front.

I'll be there in one minute. Just one minute!

1.1 billion won?

But you said 1.09 billion.

And that was just an hour ago.

Take it or leave it.

It feels like a waste for me to sell it anyway.

There are others waiting in line.

What will it be?

ROYAL CITY SILEO URGENT SALE 870 MILLION WON

There's been an overflow of urgent sales due to the dip in housing prices,

but the reality is that Seoul apartment prices

have always climbed in the end.

Hold tight, and they'll eventually rise.

Especially you all-in buyers. I know it's tough for you.

YOUR LOAN INTEREST RATE ADJUSTED FROM 16.87% TO 18.18%

But you must not give up.

Sell now, and I guarantee you'll regret it forever.

FAREWELL, STRUCK CRYPTO GOLD!

Is everyone coming to have beef tonight?

-I wouldn't miss it, bro. -Man, I'm so freaking jealous.

"I wish I bought crypto, too, not an apartment."

"I'm so damn jealous."

Sorry?

No, it's just… I could hear what you were thinking.

Oh, I wasn't thinking that.

Guys like him who just happen to get a lucky break

give everyone else unrealistic ideas.

Idiots risk their life savings and take out unaffordable loans,

thinking they can hit it big.

No wonder the economy's so screwed

with all those investment and speculation junkies.

Don't you agree?

Well, yes.

But I'm not a speculator. I actually live in my apartment.

Oh, you do?

Yes.

A proud house poor here, huh?

Sir.

But still, you went from just poor to house poor.

That's a step up, isn't it?

Good grief. Will he ever step up at work?

Suck it up, man.

It sucks, but you've got loans to pay.

History proves

that Seoul apartment prices only go up.

Just watch me.

I'll hold out until Cho fucking croaks of jealousy, that dipshit.

You sure you can last that long?

You pay more every month than you earn.

What, you want me to sell the apartment? What if prices rise?

And what if they keep tanking?

Asshole.

Come on. It's about time you gave up.

You held out for long enough.

I couldn't sell if I wanted to.

Let alone find a renter.

It wouldn't have been so bad with two incomes.

I told you not to call off your wedding.

Hey, I thought that topic was off-limits.

I'm just worried about you.

You look like shit. Would it kill you to shave every so often?

My noisy neighbors are keeping me up.

Oh, right. Hey.

Are you going to Seo's farewell dinner?

You should. He's buying everyone beef.

Can't. Gotta make money.

That debt won't go anywhere with that part-time gig of yours.

We should get Seo shit-faced and suck some investment tips out of him.

-Investment? -Yup.

Does Seo remind you of all the crypto you had to cash out?

I thought that was also off-limits.

Just worried about you, bud.

Look at this face.

-You call this a fucking face? -Shut up, House Poor.

Whatever, Crypto Poor.

-Let's get going. -When will I win big with crypto and quit?

I'm not even asking to get rich. I just want to stop working so late.

You're right.

GREENLIGHT THE GTX-K LINE NOGANG STATION NOW!

MAINTENANCE OFFICE CONNECTING…

Hello, this is maintenance.

Hello, it's Apartment 1401.

They're being noisy again upstairs.

I've tried calling, but they won't answer their intercom.

Well, instead of just calling them over the intercom,

could you try going over there and talking to them in person?

Well, all right. I understand.

I'll look into it right away.

Wait, one second.

The downstairs neighbors keep leaving notes on my door.

Tell them it's not me.

Sure.

Hello.

MY CHILDREN CAN'T STUDY PLEASE KEEP THE NOISE DOWN

It only took five seconds for the 16 floors to collapse.

Signs of poor construction were found all over…

FRONT DOOR

What are you doing?

I live downstairs.

I guess you didn't see this.

I'm telling you, it's not me.

Didn't maintenance tell you?

Oh no. Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

What the…

What on earth are you doing?

My daughter is a senior, and my son is in 8th grade.

You know how it is. They're so very sensitive.

The kids need their sleep, and it's just so noisy through the night.

I wrote it all down for you.

I'm telling you, the noises aren't from my place.

I just woke up because of the noise myself.

Seriously, how many times must I tell you it's not me?

My husband says…

he's certain the noises are from your place.

Well, he's wrong.

So seriously,

stop leaving these notes on my door.

It only gets noisy when you're home.

What are you doing?

You listen carefully.

You don't want my husband to come up here.

Are you

threatening me right now?

I'm just expressing my concern.

Seriously, lady.

I told you it's not me. It's not from my place.

The vibrations and footsteps. They're all coming from upstairs.

Want to come in and hear for yourself?

Hey, hold on. Just wait.

Excuse me.

What the hell? Are you insane?

Can you not run up my bill?

Shoes.

Your shoes!

Get out.

It's silent.

No, wait.

It was really noisy a moment ago.

This rude little shit won't even admit it.

You look down on us because we rent, don't you?

Sorry?

Look, lady. What did you say?

I've put up with enough.

Yeah, well… What are you gonna do about it?

What the hell.

What the actual fuck? Are they doing this on purpose?

Can I help you?

Hello.

I live downstairs. Apartment 1401.

Yes, and?

The thing is,

my downstairs neighbors at 1301 keep making complaints.
