People who say this is cheap are forgetting that the Korean salary is nowhere close to the US for this to be worth it. It's a nice apartment, but not the norm. Typically foreigners can afford to pay more rent.
I pay $1900 for a pretty nice one bedroom, but it's not even in Downtown Chicago, rather in the Hyde Park "district" that surrounds University of Chicago
@@krnpowr Nice rent-man that’s all, but yeah things are going up. My rent been the same for 5+ years now, NC is also cheaper to live compared to other places
yeah except not many people will pay $1700 (2.3 million won) in Korea monthly for an apartment. The rental system is a totally different kettle of fish here...ultra high deposit (called jeonse) usually and pay little to no "rent" or half jeonse/half rent. Most people I know certainly pay under 1 million per month or ridiculous jeonse. If you live outside Seoul then that's different
Yep, when we went house shopping you would be surprised at how huge the apartments are on the 'well to do' side of town. There is a quite a large gap between middle class and those that are in places like this. To compare, just think of how much a month that place would cost in the USA.

yongsan maybe a prime transport location but most of the homeless are in yongsan and also north side of seoul is old. normally prices are much lower than those of gangnam areas. if you lookin to southern rich parts of seoul, you can find equivalent rent prices to that of NYC today. 1700 in yongsan is really a scam for a 4 bedroom apt 10+ years old no matter how close to the subway.
and 1700 for an apartment built during early 2000 ??? he was scammed.. you can get places like that at 1000 in seoul prime locations. probably another scammer budongsan ajjumma. Gimme my bok bee, or ill not let you rent a house! lol
I love these views into living situations in South Korea. This space looks AMAZING. And wonderful for game nights with friends.
Yes, I do too.

But see the difference is you can live in korea while working remotely lol and new york salaries are NO JOKE when u consider them outside of new york.
That's dirt cheap. $1,700 won't even get you a one bedroom in a nice neighborhood in Chicago these days.

I pay $650 in NC, Big yard, 3 bedrooms
@@mayomonkey9778 Exactly.
@@Mope333 That must be in the sticks. $650 won't even get you a studio in Charlotte.

My wife and I have owned our home for 20yrs which is a three floor property so good on him for finding such a great living space.
1700 is dirt cheap in the US. 1700 in Korea is EXPENSIVE AF
He must have a well paying job.

This apartment is beautiful
I renting for $400 in Hungary. Didnt know Seoul so much Expensive.
BRRRUUUHHH!! 4 bedroom 2 baths for freaking $1700
Omg!!! Completely SHOCKED RIGHT NOW. I pay $200 less for ONE BEDROOM here in Miami 😭
they make a lot less that’s why
@@gametri-eq6lj true BUT they have US currency
This one was so interesting!
Thank you bro!
Beautiful place !!
1700 will get you a share of a studio here (smh). Thanks Explorer! Great stuff as usual!😊
Nice video 😎 the cost of living in South Korea 🇰🇷 look affordable keep up the good content Jerry
Need more videos like this
외국분들이 한국에서 어떻게 사는지 보여줘서 흥미롭네요 다른 외국인분들도 어떻게 살아가는지 자주 올려주세요
1700/mth for such size is horrendously cheap, try that in Singapore you get a shoe size bedroom 😂
Not cheap when you compare it to the average salary in SK.
comparing to Singapore is like comparing to Hong Kong they’re major commercial cities
We need more videosss like this!!! Also deposit and lease infoo
Wow, so nice & what a great payment amount. I own a 4 b-room home paying $1200.00 monthly here in Texas.
Very expensive in Korea though
@@travis1271 I can understand, things are a lot different here as opposed to there regarding cost.
no way i pay 2500 in youngsan and much smaller than his apartment
Yeah. He got lucky.
Maybe you got the contract in a bad timing
For 1700 I could maybe get a small studio in NYC near Harlem lol
expensive as hell in korea

Hi! How much was the deposit? Thank you. ❤
LOVE FROM PUNE INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳 🙂😊🥰😍🥰🙂😊
This apartment would be an absolute steal if it were even in the suburbs. I would never leave if I were him.
This flat would be triple the rent price in Beijing, China.
Amazing value
My sister is spending the summer out there and needs an apartment. Do you know any that cheap for a one bedroom in Seoul
the cost of living in Seoul is very expensive, native Koreans living in Gonshiwon without being able to even own a house, simple !
Still cheap compared to the US.
Yes living in any capital will be expensive and a vast majority of people anywhere in the world are not house owners. Time to grow up 🤡
Why RENT at $1700 when you can get a mortgage for a whole house at a third of the price?
I would gladly pay $1700 a month for this.
Well Its Huge bargain brother ! I am happy to see you got a Big Winning :)
come tour my place in seoul super cheap! $350 USD no deposit…. and 4x3 meters 😄
Where is K Explorer from? Was he born and raised in Korea?
I believe it is Nigeria.
He speaks Korean well, but not at a native level. he has a strong foreign accent. He probably learned Korean after he became an adult.
crying in $2100 a month for 1bd/1bth 😭
does anyone know her ig?? she is so gorgeous!!❤
Not the complete story. Obviously it is based upon Wolsae type of contract. So what is the deposit? $50,000?
$14,000
@SmartYouTubification That's a bargain. A few years I looked at a studio in Seoul. Rent was almost $500 but the deposit was $10,000,
Rent is more than my current salary 🙈
I wish I had a life
Hey y'all, he said the deposit in the short form video on instagram which is 20,000,000 won, or about $14,000.
Which part of Seoul?
In the video, he said Yongsan.
yongsan maybe a prime transport location but most of the homeless are in yongsan and also north side of seoul is old. normally prices are much lower than those of gangnam areas. if you lookin to southern rich parts of seoul, you can find equivalent rent prices to that of NYC today. 1700 in yongsan is really a scam for a 4 bedroom apt 10+ years old no matter how close to the subway.
