[1] Global real estate asset managers and capital are gearing up for a bite of Seoul’s rental housing market, which has been undergoing a transformation since the country’s housing security has come under stress for its distinctive rent-free “jeonse” system.

*gear up 채비하다, 가속하다

*transformation (완전한) 변화[탈바꿈], 변신

*distinctive 독특한

[2] The recent revelations of numerous **housing rental scams have accelerated the country’s shift from its unique jeonse system, under which tenants put up a large refundable deposit to the landlord in lieu of monthly rent payments, typically for a two-year rental period.

*revelation 폭로(된 사실)

*tenant 세입자, 임차인

*in lieu of …대신에

[3] Instead, the market has been moving toward the more globally familiar monthly rental market. Land Ministry data shows over 50 percent of rental transactions made for tenement and multifamily housings in Seoul last year were monthly rental deals, the highest since the ministry started to release compiled data from 2011.

*transaction 거래, 매매

*multifamily housing 다세대다가구주택

[4] The shift is expected to drive up the prices of rent, luring influential real estate asset managers and capital from overseas to bet on the growth.
