is a friendly economic time.
Today (9th) we will also be with reporter Han Ji-yeon.
The application for advance payment of compensation for corona loss in the second quarter starts from today, but it seems that the amount of advance payment has decreased a bit?
<Reporter>
First of all, 1 million won is paid in advance before the main payment. You can tell why it decreased like this after giving 2.5 million won when paying in advance.
The target is small business owners whose sales have decreased due to the restrictions imposed on business hours from April 1 to 17. Previously, sales were less than 1 billion won, but with an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties, the scope of support was expanded to 3 billion won this time, and the target was 612,000 won. increased to about one person.
Some people still do not know what advance payment is, so let me explain a little bit, because if you apply for loss compensation, it goes through a review and is only paid in August.
Because this is too late, we give 1 million won first, which is called advance payment.
If the damage amount is 5 million won after screening at the time of the main payment, you will receive 4 million won after subtracting the 1 million won paid in advance.

Are there any data showing that the polarization of house prices in Seoul is getting worse?
<Reporter>
Yes, the difference in house prices has widened to 700 million won over the Han River.
This is a medium-sized apartment, that is, an apartment with a dedicated area of 85 to 102 square meters. Last month, the average selling price north and south of the Han River was 1.1 billion won and 1.8 billion won, respectively, with a difference of 700 million won.
In 2017, the average sales price gap was around 320 million won.
It kept at around 300-400 million won, but suddenly jumped to 700 million won in one year, and more than doubled in five years.
It is analyzed that this is because the demand for new apartments in Gangnam has increased as the sale of high-priced apartments in Gangbuk has decreased due to the tightening of regulations such as the prohibition of apartment loans exceeding 1.5 billion won in the last administration, and the preference for 'smart rooms' is growing.
As this phenomenon continues, the gap between the two regions is expected to widen for some time to come.

Did you hear that the survey results showed that the price of inflation in Korea is quite high?
<Reporter>
Yes, a global consulting company surveys 'the most expensive city for foreigners to live in the world' every year. This year, Seoul ranked 10th.
Foreigners residing in the country are ranked according to their living expenses, based on factors such as rent, transportation, electricity, eating out, and alcohol and cigarettes.
The target is 207 cities in 120 countries, and Seoul has the 10th highest cost of living out of 207 cities.
However, compared to last year, the ranking is down two places.
For reference, Hong Kong has ranked first for three years in a row, and as the Hong Kong dollar has continued to strengthen over the past year, it remains the most expensive city in the world.
All of the Japanese cities that have been depreciating the yen recently have come down in the rankings.
The city with the lowest cost of living was occupied by Ankara, Turkey.
