  1. There are not really any good hostels in Seoul for the general traveler. In Asia, it's always far better to try and get a cheap love hotel room for 20-30 bucks a night if you're looking for bargain basement accomodations.

    I went to Seoul last year and stayed there 1 month only sleeping in hostels (tried 3-4). It's probably cheaper and better quality wise to stay in a love motel, I never tried, but at the time it was easier for me to book an hostel. Of course it wasn't as good as hostels in europe (not as much choice) but it did the job. I met koreans and other travelers there, which made my trip better. If you know no one in Korea, it might be ''easier'' to make friends and meet people in an hostel.

    If I had to go back though, now that I know a bit about Seoul, I would probably go for the love motels as you can't find a decent 30$/night single room in an hostel

  2. if you are travelling alone and only for two weeks, staying in an hostel might be a good option. Of course it's not always comfortable (depends which one, what kind of room, etc.), but you will meet other travelers and will be able to get some help from the staff (which is helpful if you can't speak korean obviously).

    It's really easy to book online too.

  3. I paid 5 mil down and 570 a month (some utilities are automatically paid for) to get my balcony kitchen and somewhat large single room in the Hongdae/Shinchon area. I could have done better but I wanted a quiet place that was clean and well maintained.
    if your not too much of a cock ill help you out.

    if you just want a private space, you could get somewhere for 400$ a month with 10k jonsei. if i was you id aim to spend somewhere around 500-600$ which will give you a fair balance of cost~-~niceness.

    It's really appreciated guys. At least I have an idea.

    Anyway, if I ever go as I said it's probably in at least a year, probably like 2. So I guess I have a lot of time to think about it. I might even come with one of my friend, so might decide to look for a 2-bedrooms.

    Thanks!

  4. Thanks again!

    I've been to Seoul for a short period of time in the past, so I know I won't get something really big. When I said I needed space, I meant a place bigger than an actual dorm that you have to share with someone else. If I go it's going to be for 2 semesters, so it's mentally impossible for me to stay in a tight room for one year. I'm sure I will be able to get some korean help through the university or something.

  5. Thanks a lot for the info guys! Kind of strange that they don't show the real pictures tough, haha.

    I've heard Gangnam was really expensive, so yeah 800$/month doesn't make any sense. At least now I know what to look for in hangul to get the price.

    I will probably end up doing a student exchange next year at Yonsei U. I really don't want to stay at the dorms (I need spaaaaaace), and probably looking to get a 2-bedrooms. How much do I need to pay to get something decent?

  6. how did tiffany manage to end up in snsd since she was raised in cali?

    I wish I grew up in my native country -_- I'd be one of those cool azns that speaks dual languages with no accents

    SM auditions in L.A. just like Jessica did too

    I think Jessica left when she was younger though
