Korean apartment sizes: supply area vs exclusive area
Korean apartments are named by the supply area, which includes your own space plus a share of common areas such as hallways and stairs. The exclusive area (the area inside your front door) is what you actually live in.
| Exclusive area | In pyeong | In sq ft | Typical listing name |
|---|---|---|---|
| 59 m² | 17.8 | 635 | about 24 pyeong |
| 74 m² | 22.4 | 797 | about 29 pyeong |
| 84 m² | 25.4 | 904 | about 34 pyeong |
| 101 m² | 30.6 | 1,087 | about 40 pyeong |

For one-room studios (wonroom) the listed size is often the exclusive area in pyeong, such as 6 pyeong (about 20 m²). Ask the agent whether the number is supply area or exclusive area, and compare homes using square meters to avoid surprises.
