Following TSMC's announcement of setting up in Kaohsiung, housing prices have surged with rumors of Nvidia, ASML, and other tech giants also planning to move in, causing first-time homebuyers to lament being 'late by 3 months, facing a price increase of nearly one million, worrying about affordability'. Despite the price surge due to tech companies entering the market, Kaohsiung's historical lower property base prices compared to New Taipei and Taichung still make it relatively inexpensive, though future development should not be underestimated. Properties near tech hubs such as the Advanced Computing Center by Nvidia in the High-Tech Park have seen significant price increases, with about a 1 to 2 thousand appreciation over just 3 months. Advice is given to prospective buyers to prepare at least 20% self-funding when purchasing, emphasizing utilizing government-backed policies for new projects, easing the burden. Furthermore, utilizing a 30-year mortgage plan could provide more flexibility in payments, particularly suited for tech sector employees with stable income and lending ability.

The South Korean Medical Association issued a protest statement today, criticizing the government's irresponsible medical school expansion plan. The association vowed to establish a special protest committee across the medical field to fight against the plan with all means necessary, including a full strike starting on June 18. The government and medical sector are facing a standoff as the Prime Minister of South Korea held a press conference in response to the Association's strike plans, expressing regret and blaming such actions for burdening the emergency medical system and leaving scars on South Korean society. Despite efforts to persuade doctors back to work, many are still reluctant, while medical professors have begun to support the younger generations' cause in resistance to the government's expansion plans, further heightening the tension between the medical sector and the government.
