which would be better renting or purchasing? and an apartment or a house?

10 months ago
I have yet to decide either to rent or purchase and an apartment vs. a house?
Would like to know pros and cons on each option.

I am thinking of Busan region rather than Seoul in terms of location.

I have US citizenship and would like to have Korean citizenship as well and wondering owning a property in Korea will assist in obtaining Korean citizenship.
