Cost Of Living In Seoul, Korea

How much money do you spend per week?

As a Korean who has been living in Seoul for more than 20 years, the cost of living (especially food prices & house cost) has increased too much compared to the wage growth rate. So you can still afford it if you just are single, and earn average monthly pay which is around 3, 000$. But If you want to get married and raise your own kids in Korea, you never can afford it with that amount. I guess that's one of the critical reasons why most young Koreans quit getting marriage these days.

The KExplorer's videos are so great. I've been learning English for 4 months because I'd like to visit South Korea one day. BTW, your videos are helping me a lot . Thanks.
Hugs from Mexico to the people of South Korea. 🇲🇽🤝🇰🇷

Another great video! From my experience in Seoul, eating out, public transportation, and medical care are all cheaper than in the US (food is tastier too 😅). But I also think many Americans would find long-term housing expensive, especially when factoring how much space you get for what you pay (definitely less than in the US). I mean, there's a reason that real estate prices have been a huge concern for citizens in recent years! Interesting trade-offs to consider...

The NYC guy releases good vibes, we can feel it

[OhVictoria]

I kinda love how his videos just end. You don’t know when it’s coming so it’s like… SURPRISE! That’s it. No fluff, no outro. 😅

The only country in the world I interested to travel

[ERIC]

Good interviews, all interviewees look nice, good luck to them !!

[Tony.Vibez.]

Can i just say, the fact he translated the money into USD automatically, shows he’s very thorough with his videos, this channel is awesome

[trema]

Interesting video. Opposite of what I've heard from Koreans who came to my city from Seoul. They always said it was really expensive. It seems more or similar affordability to developing countries.

You should also ask what they do for a living! I noticed not all of them were asked that

[gene]

well the "expensive or not", it depends in the currency you earn, for me for example that i earn in pesos, it's expensive haha 😅

[sagemin]

Wow... as a Korean living in Seoul, I am a bit surprised by their saying because I think some of the interviewee live a frugal life than me. My monthly rent and foods expense is around $460~500 each. And when you go hang out every week, more money for transportation and drinks add up on that, needless to say moeny for shopping. Though, I agree that S.Korea is one of the affordable and attractive country to live 😉.
Now, I am curious about how foreigners are using the national healthcare system or what their experience going to the hospitals here in Korea.

Thank you for the NYC guys breakdown. Now I have an idea of what to budget for my trip 🙏
