Of Korea's three mortgage ratios, DSR usually decides the number. Running one case through a 40% LTV, the KRW 600m price-band cap and a 40% DSR shows which gate closes first.

LTV measures against property value, DTI against mortgage principal and interest, DSR against all loan payments — the actual limit is whichever of the three is smallest. Adding Stress DSR cuts the limit by about 16%.
