Striking Back in Seoul Battling Chaebols and Skyrocketing Rents

In this narrative, we venture to Seoul, South Korea, a city grappling with the dominance of chaebols - large family-owned conglomerates - in the real estate market. We follow the journey of a group of tenants who, faced with exorbitant rent increases and unresponsive landlords, decide to take a stand. Through their collective action, they challenge the power of these corporate giants, demanding not only fair rents but also a more equitable housing market. Join us as we explore this unique rent strike, its challenges, victories, and the lasting impact it had on Seoul's housing justice movement.
