Word origin

The name combines the Korean word for part with jeonse, the large-deposit lease system, because it keeps a substantial deposit while adding monthly rent.

Usage tips

  • In Korean housing talk, the deposit amount matters as much as the monthly payment, so both figures need checking when comparing homes.
