<Anchor> This
is a friendly economic time.
Today (the 13th) I will be with reporter Han Ji-yeon.
hello.
(Hello.) You said that chicken was the most popular food item this year?
<Reporter>
As major chicken franchises raised the price of chicken by 1 or 2,000 won at the end of last year or early this year, the era of one chicken is 20,000 won, isn't it?
Chicken was the largest, up 6.6% from the end of last year.
The increase in raw material prices is reflected, and if you look at the price of raw chicken delivered to franchises alone, it is around 3,500 won, which is an 18% increase from last year.
The next-highest rising food items were jajangmyeon and tteokbokki, which recorded a 6% increase, while kalguksu, jjamppong gimbap, ramen, and coffee also surpassed 5%.
Raw material prices rose due to the Ukraine crisis, and consumption recovered after the lifting of 'distance', stimulating the rise in food prices.
The price of eating out is calculated by 39 items, all of which have risen, up 4.2% from December last year.

The drought seems to be very severe these days, and I think the drought really had an impact.
There seems to be quite a variety of foods raised due to the drought.
<Reporter>
Yes, garlic and onions.
With the prolonged drought, crops have been poor this month in almost all areas.
Onions and garlic are stem plants, right?
The yield is checked by the egg-stalk weight, but the weight has decreased except for the garlic variety in Daeseo, Jeollabuk-do.
Garlic decreased by 7.7% compared to last year, and onion decreased by 12.5%.
Garlic and onion prices are already skyrocketing, and the harvest is finished at the end of this month. The price is expected to rise further next month.
Also, the price increase is watermelon, and the wholesale price this month is expected to rise by 32% compared to a year ago.
Then, it would be 2,300 won to 2,500 won per kg. This spring, watermelons grew slower due to the large daily temperature difference, which had an effect on the decrease in shipments.
But since last month, the wholesale price was 2,900 won per kg, so it seems that you can enjoy watermelon at a relatively cheaper price this month than last month.

It seems that we are telling the news that prices rise almost every day, but there is no clear answer and it is a very frustrating situation.
Did you say that when you analyzed apartment rental transactions in Seoul this year, it was confirmed that the monthly rent is increasing?
<Reporter>
Yes, it was found that 4 out of 10 apartments in Seoul that were rented out had monthly rent.
It is analyzed that the preference for monthly rent over Jeonse has become stronger as the loan regulations were strong and interest rates continued to rise.
Lease contracts are classified into monthly rent, quasi-wolse, and quasi-jeonse.
For monthly rent, the deposit is less than 12 months' worth of monthly rent, for quasi-monthly rent, up to 240 months' worth, and for quasi-jeonse, the deposit exceeds 240 months' worth of monthly rent.
From January to May of this year, the monthly rental transaction volume in Seoul was about 34,500, with the proportion approaching 40%, the highest ever. In particular, the proportion of quasi-jeonse exceeded 20% for the first time.
On July 31st, the lease law will be in effect for two years.
Based on the new jeonse renewal contract, the deposit is expected to rise by well over 100 million won on average.
It is expected that the speed at which tenants who have already used the renewal claim will convert to monthly rent faster.

Office workers must be very sad to hear this news.
Will there be fewer holidays next year than this year?
<Reporter> Yes, there are 67 public holidays, the same as this year, but unfortunately, the total number of holidays is 116 days, two fewer than this year.
First, public holidays marked in red on the calendar include 53 days on Sunday and 16 days on public holidays such as national holidays and Lunar New Year, for a total of 69 days.
However, as January 1 and January 22, the Lunar New Year holiday, overlap with Sunday, the total number of holidays is 67, the same as this year.
In the case of an institution that implements a five-day week system, if 52 days are added on Saturdays, the number of holidays is 119 days. The number of holidays is 116 days, two less than this year.
Next year, there are 5 holidays of more than 3 days. The Lunar New Year holidays and Chuseok holidays occur on 4 days.
