'Housing Innovation for Single-Person Households': Co-living Supply in Seoul Increases Fivefold, Global Pension Funds and Institutional Investors Accelerate Entry

 

According to a report released by RSQUARE Analytics (RA) on the 26th, the number of co-living housing units in Seoul reached 7,371 as of Q1 2025, increasing 4.7 times over the past nine years. Rental demand has also risen by an annual average of 22% between 2022 and 2024. Notably, lease contracts surged by 29% in 2024 compared to the previous year.

 

With this growth trend, major domestic and international companies are actively entering the market. Domestic firms such as 'MGRV', 'DDPS' (an affiliate of SK D&D), 'SLP' (a Shinyoung affiliate), and 'KT Estate' are expanding their businesses, while the global operator 'Weave Living' has already entered the Korean market. Additionally, 'Cove' is preparing to open two locations in Seoul in collaboration with 'Honors Asset Management' in the first half of this year.

 

However, challenges remain behind this rapid growth. The median rent for co-living units in Seoul is 900,000 won, with rent per exclusive area being up to 2.6 times higher than that of officetels. RSQUARE Research Center identified the key challenges as △higher rent compared to officetels △limited exclusive area, and △inconvenience in utilizing common spaces.

Volvo Korea, operating profit increased, but sales and net profit ‘plunged’… Debt ratio 778%, cash flow minus, dividend of 3 billion won, 2 damage lawsuits

[News Space=Reporter seungwon lee] Volvo Cars Korea (CEO Lee Yoon-mo) saw its operating profit increase last year, but its sales and net profit decreased.

In addition, it is facing complex risks such as a high debt ratio approaching 800%, deterioration of non-operating profit and loss, strengthening of global supply chain and ESG regulations, and two legal disputes. Cash generation is even weakening to the extent that operating cash flow is negative (-KRW 1.1 billion). Vo

Kang Min-guk "Hanwha Aerospace's paid capital increase, 'forced sale and then prohibited transfer' to employees" urges investigation... Fair Trade Commission "reviews possible application of Fair Trade Act"

[News Space=Reporter seungwon lee] Rep. Kang Min-guk (People Power Party, Jinju City B) urged the Fair Trade Commission, Financial Supervisory Service, and other relevant authorities to actively investigate the suspicion that Hanwha Aerospace is effectively forcing its employees to buy paid-in capital increase stocks.

[News Space=Reporter seungwon lee] Rinnai Korea (CEO Cho Sang-hoon, Yoshikazu Tanaka) saw a slight increase in sales last year, but its operating profit soared by a whopping 153% and net profit by 84%.
