Is the cost of living in Busan high?

"The cost of living in Busan is relatively affordable compared to other major cities in South Korea like Seoul. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite reasonable, while those looking to live outside of the city center can find even cheaper options. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water are also quite affordable, and internet is relatively cheap and very fast. Groceries in Busan are reasonably priced, with local markets offering fresh produce, meat, and seafood at lower prices than supermarkets. Eating out at restaurants can range from very cheap at local establishments to more expensive at high-end restaurants. Public transportation in Busan is efficient and affordable, with buses and subways covering the entire city. Taxis are also available and are relatively cheap. Healthcare in Busan is of high quality and is affordable, especially with the national health insurance that covers a large portion of medical costs. Overall, while salaries in Busan may be lower than in cities like Seoul, the lower cost of living can make it a more affordable option," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Busan, Korea.
