"Zigbang to Warn of Jeonse Fraud Risks"... Ministry of Land and Private Sector to Link Jeonse Fraud Information Systems

Business Agreement Signed with Private Platforms
Risk Assessment Based on Priority Right Information

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is set to sign a business agreement to connect public and private information systems, enabling people to access information to prevent jeonse (long-term lease) fraud on private real estate platforms as well.

On July 14, the Ministry announced that it would enter into a "Business Agreement for Linking Lease Integrated Information Systems" with HUG (Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation), Dabang, Zigbang, Hanbang, KB Real Estate, and Naver Pay Real Estate.

This agreement aims to build a cooperative structure so that risk diagnostic services based on priority right information can be utilized on private platforms. Through the agreement, it is expected that government-provided jeonse fraud risk diagnostic information will be accessible not only through private platforms such as Dabang, Zigbang, Hanbang, KB Real Estate, and Naver Pay Real Estate, but also on platforms independently established by local governments.

Previously, as part of follow-up measures to the "Jeonse Fraud Prevention Measures" announced in March, the government has been working to build a system that consolidates and analyzes scattered information—such as registration, fixed dates, move-in reports, and lease transaction details—into a one-stop platform for reviewing rental contracts. The system is currently being developed with the goal of providing services through the HUG Safe Jeonse App in September 2026. The plan is to further improve accessibility later through external integration with private real estate platforms.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to lead the coordination with related organizations and improvements in regulations. HUG is responsible for preparing the technical infrastructure, while private platforms will independently develop services and analyze user engagement in accordance with their service formats.

The Ministry and HUG also plan to host briefings for other proptech companies and local governments regarding future directions for cooperation, and have announced that they will pursue additional business agreements with any interested organizations and companies.

Yi-tak Kim, the First Vice Minister of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, stated, "In order for the government-developed system to provide practical help to citizens and maximize its efficacy, it is crucial to build an open ecosystem that is accessible not just through public apps but also on the platforms people use most frequently."
