Cheongju draws 150,000 apartment applications as Asan gets 84
Two South Korean cities had sharply different apartment application results on the same day.
In Cheongju, in North Chungcheong Province, about 150,000 applications were made for roughly 1,200 homes.
In Asan, in South Chungcheong Province, just 84 applications came in for more than 1,300 homes.
The average competition rate differed by about 2,000 times, showing how uneven demand was.
The figures concern first-round applications, a way to measure interest in new homes.
