What netizens are saying
They can't build inside Seoul, so it's the outskirts again.
Homes without new transit just mean worse commutes.
Supply signals matter — the real question is when people can move in.
Why Koreans care
Housing prices and commute times dominate everyday talk in Korea, where about half the population lives in the Seoul metro area.
Our take
Watch for construction dates and transit plans; until then it is a map, not homes.
