"The cost of living in Korea is generally considered to be quite affordable. However, the cost of living in the larger cities such as Seoul and Busan is higher than in the rest of the country. The rental price for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Korea is typically around $1,000 USD per month, while a nice 2 bedroom apartment is around $1,500 USD per month. Eating dinner at a moderately priced restaurant in Korea will usually cost around $10 USD per person," wrote a member who made the move to Korea.
