How it works

Cheongyak is Korea's lottery for new apartments; part of the supply goes to applicants with the highest points.
Years without a home (max 32): 2 points under 1 year, +2 each year, 32 at 15+ years — counted from age 30 or marriage.
Dependents (max 35): 5 for none, +5 each, 35 for 6 or more. Account period (max 17): 1 under 6 months, 2 under 1 year, +1 a year, 17 at 15+.
Spouse's account adds up to 3 points (based on 50% of their period); the account total stays capped at 17.
Foreign nationals generally need Korean residence registration and an eligible account — check on Cheongyak Home before applying.
