Hello, this is the owner, G.K.!
There is now a public hanok housing project available in SH.
For details about the announcement, please refer to this post!
As I am also in the position of a soon-to-be newlywed couple, I have organized the information accordingly.
This summary includes personal thoughts, making it suitable for beginners.
If there is any incorrect information, please leave a comment!
Good luck to all the prospective couples!
(+ Good luck to me too!)

Location
10 minutes on foot to Anguk Station. Although it is a bit far from Bukchon Hanok Village, there are many guesthouses nearby.
Rent Deposit and Monthly Rent
For low-income households, monthly income should be at 80%.
For dual-income households, it should be at 130% and 200% respectively.
Note: The unit for the deposit is in ten thousand won, not thousand won. I mistakenly thought it was in thousand won and realized it was in ten thousand won!
Structure and Interior Photos
The layout consists of 1 room, 1 bathroom, a kitchen, a living area, and a yard.
The interior looks quite nice, possibly styled like a model house. The living area seems to be the space called 'numaru,' which would be great for newlyweds with minimal belongings.
Other Information
All criteria are based on December 30. Those without housing are considered as default.
One advantage is that all appliances and furniture are provided. For newly starting couples, this could be the best benefit!
It only requires bringing a few pieces of furniture.
Being a remodeled hanok adds to the charm!
Disadvantages
It has individual gas heating and water meters, so it feels like living in a standalone house rather than an apartment or villa. You need to manage it like those living in country houses, considering heating costs and water management.
There might be bugs, and we should think about possible mice as well.
The front door is wooden, and you should consider the walls too! Also, there is no parking available.
When a baby comes along, everyone tends to rely on cars, so the lack of parking might be the biggest downside.
But still, living in a hanok is romantic, right? I would love to go!
Isn’t this also good news for newlyweds, as well as foreigners who have settled down in Korea?
