Profit
Is an Airbnb in Yeongcheon-si Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Yeongcheon-si Airbnb took in ₩17,006,447 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₩1,040,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about ₩1,880,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ₩570,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ₩1,080,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ₩900,000 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about ₩2,560,000, against ₩1,330,000 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
