"Do you think my landlord would accept payment by blood sacrifice." - Something a New Yorker friend of mine once said to me over drinks that to this day I don't think was entirely a joke
I wouldn’t be joking either bruh 💀
Homie gotta have a roof over his head some how
Reminder that the girl that said her NY apartment was $2000 a month WAS ONLY HERE PORTION!!! SO IF WE'RE ASSUMING 2 PEOPLE LIVE THERE THAT'S $4,000 OR MORE IF OTHERS ALSO LIVE THERE IM CRYINGGGG
I was suprised when they said that $600 was expensive for that korean apartment. Here in the UK in london it was a few years back that even for just one room it’s easily over £1000 and now the prices are crazy. I’m so jealous 😢
In Germany its quite similar to Korea. We basically have one room apartments which rage from 90-300€ (79£-290£) but these are probably ones which are older and not in city centre
it's the same pretty much everywhere here in the U.S. $600/month is a dream I'll never achieve over here...not even close.
Me in California😪
@@niahkasia1919 oh wow I’m so jealous!
They’re monthly rent is cheap but not when you factor in the MASSIVE deposits they usually have to put down first. 😩
It’s the deposits. It’s different. America usually only pays one month rent for deposit. So if rent is $3,000 a month the deposit is $3,000, if the rent is $650 then the deposit is $650 etc. (but yes New York and San Fran are the most expensive in USA)
The original idea was protection in case a person skips out on their lease, so the owner had one extra month rent covered while they look for a new tenet. Thats why it might be called “first and last”. That’s why those American videos only ask about the rent and not the deposit, because it’s assumed. (The last Seoul apartment with the 2,500 rent and 3,500 deposit was the most similar I’ve seen)
From what I’ve seen in Seoul the bigger the deposit the smaller the monthly rent. Those $400 or $500 a month apartments usually have huge deposits (but you do get that back so it’s a better deal over all). I think the concept for that arrangement is interest. That the landlord will make interest off that deposit while they have it in the bank.
And of course both kinds of deposits can be used for damages.
What? I've paid 1st and last month rent my entire adult life for security deposits in the US
@@AquaticOni Yes, me too. But…..every time I’ve paid “first and last” the “first” wasn’t a deposit but the actual payment for the first month. Only the “last” was a deposit I got back. Same for everyone I know.
Like, (for example) if I move in January 1st and my rent is $1000 a month, I give them $2000 on January 1st. And then $1000 a month starting February 1st. And they hold on to the extra $1000 until I move out. Then I get that back. If that makes sense. Lol
Are you saying if your rent is $1000 a month you give them $3000 to move in? And they hold on to $2000? 😯 Wow! Can I ask what city? I’m super curious now (also that sucks I’m so sorry)
I've always paid 1st and last rent and the deposit was around $300 and $500. I always got the deposit back when I moved.
The girl that said she pays $2000 a month actually has a roommate or 2. So each person pays $2000. I saw that on the UA-cam shorts video. Depending where u live in nyc u can pay up to $7500 per month for a 2/3 bedroom apt. If you're lucky u can get a place for $1500-$2000 for a studio sometimes even a 1 bedroom. Something I can't even afford.
You need to add that this is in New Yorrk city, not New York state, I believe. That montly rent fee ( $5,113 ) is about what I pay for 6 months , for a 4 bedroom , 2 bathrooms, livingroom / diningroom & kitchen , for a house. But I live in a rural area in Pennsylvania / USA.
My apartment in Seoul was $3k a month. I’m not sure how much the deposit was because my company paid it, but they said it was a lot. I think my apartment was about 800sqft. It had 1 bedroom, a living room, bathroom, and kitchen. My washing machine and dryer were on my balcony (semi-outside). The walls were so thin that you can hear people having conversations.
Usually if rent is that high, they skimped out on the deposit. A really big deposit will guarantee much cheaper rent. I remember one of my friends put down like $8,000 for the deposit and they payed only a few hundred in rent.
Minji is a queen 🙂 so cute and natural
here in seattle a studio apt is going to be anywhere from 900-1700 and a 1bdrm is going to be abt 1400-2500; a 2 bedroom is going to always be over 2k, usually closer to at least 3k. These min cost ones are few and far between & usually on the higher end. Big cities in america are insanely expensive. Also when u factor in health insurance, transportation, and grocery costs it gets so expensive so quickly.
am in seattle, can attest to this. I lived in a 1100 studio in cap hill (the most expensive district by sq ft in seattle proper) and people called it a "steal" but they didn't know how small by space was. 200 sqft. I could literally cook my ramen on the stove from my bed, and sit on the toilet and wash my hands in the sink. not even joking.
I’m the Seattle area also and paid $1295 for a 275 sq ft studio with tandem parking 🤢Basically I shared a parking spot with a “parking buddy” to arrange times when we’ll need our cars as they would’ve been parked right behind me.
Minji facial expressions were hilarious 🤣😂🤣
Love the video but the New York segment is totally staged hahah. It's still nice tours but it's so obvious the people were selected beforehand. Who the hell would let a random dude in their apartment on the spot like that?
a few are real tho
There's a guy on TikTok who asks folks what their rents are and then he asks if he can see the apartment. Then he tours the apartments of those who say yes, many recognize him from his TikToks, or UA-cam shorts.
@@louisejohnson6057 Even if people recognized him, I highly doubt that so many peoples apartment would be this neat/clean and ready to tour on a whim. I've seen more of his page before, and it is really obvious the apartments are picked out beforehand because the majority of them are really expensive, fancy places.
like its cool content but he just added this gimmick of it being random people for some reason.
You say that like the Seoul ones were letting in random strangers too
@@hanjis5894 I didn't say that they went right that second. Depending upon the person, they adapt. If someone is uncomfortable with spontaneity, or if their house is in a state of disarray that they're not comfortable with others seeing, then they make an appointment. Others are naturally very neat, and still others aren't tidy, and they don't care about who thinks what about them. I can't attest to the validity of everyone putting out this kind content, but the guy I've seen, seems legit.
I want to clear up the idea that Americans wear shoes in the house. As a black person we do not wear shoes in the house or sit with outside clothes.
I was gagged a little when he said that
most americans wear shoes in the house. you are not clearing anything up. you are literally an outlier 💀
I work at a college housing facility near a university in california. here a 185sq ft bedroom in a shared dorm apartment with 5/6 other roommates and no kitchen space is $850 😭 sharing a large room like that with one other person is $600, and a 353sq ft "studio" is $1300, with typically $500 as deposit. and we're considered the "cheap" option around here. an actual normal 2bed apartment in this area goes for at least 2.3k.
New york is very expensive but we also have roommates in some case. We also get paid decently well compared to places like korea and europe where cost of living is lower but so are the wages. At least from what i've seen. I could be wrong though!
Yeah unlike Hawaii where our cost of living is through the roof but our wages are dirt cheap. Good luck finding decent affordable housing.
I was living in a less expensive area in California for a while and a studio apartment was $1200-$1400 a month. Housing is very expensive here even where I live now in a cheaper more rural area rent on a trailer home which is where most people live we don't have many apartments is $650-$800 a month which is quite cheap in the US
You need to compare the average job salaries in New York verse Seoul. I googled it and average annual salary in Seoul is $36,000 where in New York City it is $107,000.
Where I live in Texas, most rent is $1200-1800 per month for a small home or apartment
I love this channel ❤😊
Minji is looking gorgeous 😚❣️
The first one reminds me of my college dorm lol
Except the kitchen and washer/dryer were in the same room
In Arizona, a western state in the US, rent has gotten pretty expensive. Everything is north of $1,000 dollars here. Also something to note, nothing is nice around this price. A place like that New York $2,000 apartment is like $2,500 to $3,000. The prices rival New York and Los Angeles and in some cases are even worse. The one downside i see in Korea is the high deposits. It is a recipe for disaster giving your landlord that much money. Typically in the US, deposits for rents are never greater than one month's rent. Also sometimes the first month is free when you sign a contract for a year or more.
Worth noting the woman paying $2000 in the video said, "my share," meaning she has roommates.
My 1st apartment in the Chicago suburbs was $640 for a 1BR in 1996. The next one was "a little farther out" from the city, and was $795 for a 2BR from 1997 to 1999. I now live in a much smaller city (Salt Lake City, Utah) and own my home, which is 3BR 2BA, which I bought in 2007. My mortgage payment is less than the $1300 a month that google says is the average 1BR rent for the area.
It's always cheaper to live where hardly anyone wants to live. Hence higher rates in Cali, NYC, and urban areas. I honestly think you're paying too much for your location but inflation and the housing crisis in the states have rents and mortgages sky high nearly everywhere.
Rent in NY and SF and LA is crazy, but but let’s be real…they also don’t request the deposits that people in Seoul have to put down… a friend said “my rent is so cheap!! Only about $650 a month!”. She failed to mention that she had to put down $15K deposit (which is less than most people I’ve heard tell about renting in Seoul) beforehand though 🤨😅
They were so shocked when that girl said she paid $2000/month and I think they missed the part where she said that that was HER PORTION of the rent 😂
Rent is just crazy here in California. During college, I was paying $1800 for my studio in west LA and that was in 2012. I purchased a few years ago. I can't believe the $4000 rent in NY. My mortgage is just a little over that but $4k as rent is $4k that you'll never ever see again!
The cost of living goes up, rarely down. That being said, some of those apartments are gorgeous.
I live in the states and the amount i’m paying for my 1 bedroom apt, i could be paying monthly on a mortgage for a house. If you’re curious:
My apt is pretty spacious 1 bedroom, single full bathroom (has bathtube/shower), full living room, full kitchen and a laundry room. My apt is also equipped automatically from the owners of the complex with a washer, dryer, refrigerator, diswasher, stove and microwave. It also has central air (built in air conditioning and heating). They also allow pets, but you have to pay a pet fee every month. I pay $1,085 per month for rent alone. It doesn’t include gas/electric, internet and cable of which i have pay separately from my rent. So i’m essentially paying upwards of about $1,200 per month for my apt.
rent is ridiculously high here in nyc. We also have something called coops it's slightly cheaper but hard to get.
I had a friend on the waiting list for a coop in the BX. She was on that list for like 5 Years.....they finally called her she had just moved back to Cali to live with her fam.
for apartments where I live.. lowest is around 800$, but most peoples are around 1200$ and we also get paid very low incomes considering how expensive things are here
It's unbelievable for me, living in west Europe i pay 250$ for a whole house with It's own kitchen, two bathrooms, a living room... maybe it's because they make 4000$ a month but here the average salary is 1200$
Average rent for an 1 Bedroom Apartment in Colorado Springs, Colorado USA is $1,553 per month. Minimum wage is $12.56/hr. So if you work 40 hours per week, your rent would be 3/4 of you total monthly income BEFORE taxes.
It's important to specify exactly which part of NYC these apartments were located in. I mean, 4K seems on the low end for certain areas of the city. Even in D.C, which is nothing compared to NY, you're not going to get anything decent for under 2.5 a month.
I like choi’s skin ❤
It would be great to see them react to the US Marine Corps with their birthday coming up on November 10th!
I can live like a queen over there!!! I'm paying $3,500 a month right now. What can that get me in Seoul???
The $2k and $4k apartments are wayyyy undervalued for the NYC market...
I'm living in a regular 2 bed apartment 45 min from midtown and still paying 2.3k...
the way my room for uni is basically the first korean crib with 2 times the price LMAO and thats in a non major city in ontario rip
The PPI for each country should be taken into consideration. For eg I work for an MNC which has head quarters at America while I make around 50 K USD per annum which is a huge amount in my country and I am very happy with it but my colleagues who are in America who is handling the same position is making 120K per annum.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Donghyun! I think the same way! It's the reason I havent moved in 15 years. I keep my low rent.
Prices in the States shown aren't avg. Most places it's higher. Even more when foreign reality company owns it and runs up the prices.
why are they so surprised 8 million people live there and as many people in their country (a little more) visit every year. that's just basic demand prices.
I'm in shock at how your apartments are in the low hundreds like that. That's insane! Here you won't get anything for $450, not even a room in a house LOL It's no less than $900 for that. And it will be old like that old Korean one room--more like a Goshiwon. I pay $1100 for a one bedroom and that's considered cheap where I am and I have no counters in my kitchen space. I can't move or I'll be paying $1400+ for the same amount of space somewhere else. That "expensive" Korean apartment looks worth the price to me. Everything is clean and updated. Here that would be a 3 bedroom in a rough neighborhood with nothing updated and falling apart and bugs. Also, those apartments in NY were super cheap lmao Those were amazing finds. If you watch docs, living in less than average apartments go for like $3000 and up & that's like a 2BR.
I live in Oklahoma. Average rent here for an apartment is $1,000 for one bedroom if you want a "decent" one. This is excluding all the bills. That is relatively less expensive compared to a lot of states, however, our paying wages aren't as high as New York's or California's. It's still a struggle for most of us, living pay check to pay check or being flat out broke is extremely common. I'd KILL for an apartment that was $500 or $600. The only way I could get out on my own was if I had a roommate that made a bit more than me, and that's just to live with essentials.
They're sayin 660 is expensive and its in the city, meanwhile a studio apartment for where I live is like 1800-2000 a month.
I live in the SF bay area... very expensive. 1000 studios to 6000 3 bedroom. Of course prices
are what they are for what AREA you live in. Oakland ghetto 1K-1300 for 1 studio. Nice area
1.5K to 1.8K studio. SF is a joke 2-3K for a studio... 3-4K for 1 bedroom. Location is everything.
You should do LA apartments for them.
I wish I had cheap rent. I live in Northern California and I rent one of the two bedrooms of a condo for $1,400/month 😭 in a ghetto area with people literally pooping and urinating on the sidewalk and gun violence. My housemate is renting the living room for $800. The HOA alone is $600 and it gets spent on hosing the poop off the sidewalk every night.
U guys are soo worried about New York try renting here in cali 😳
Crazy, I knew rent was cheap in Korea but I didn't realize it was that cheap. I guess it's comparable to their salary since I am currently paying $1800 for a 1bd 700 Sq ft apt in CA.
You guys should see the prices of apartments/houses in Avondale/Goodyear, Arizona in the U.S 🙄 absolutely ridiculous and not fair for the area lol 😅
I lived in Seattle with two other people in a two-bedroom, 2-bathroom corner apartment with a small balcony was $3000. This was during my college days so it was walking distance from the college but that also meant it was at the heart of the city.
Did you go to U-dub?
No I went to Seattle U so I was right on cap hill.
@@kopaszh_pkoaszh_9527 Oh, nice!
I’m not even in New York, it’s a mid size town of 200k people and average rent is like 1700usd
Omg I rent 5bedroom Tudor building for 500 a month here in uk
i did not know rent was this cheap in Korea. i live in texas and we used to be one of the places to move because we had some of the cheapest rent. now a 1 br can cost anywhere between $800-$1800.
right. Soon, we'll be like Cali
And let’s compare this to my 3bedroom 2 bath, full separate laundry room and dining room multi-thousand square-foot house on a 200acre farm with a huge fenced in yard for all my dogs and cats, where I pay $400 a month in rural KY. 🎉 Location, location, location. I could never live in a big city. Too stressful and expensive. I’ve never lived in anything less than a 3 bedroom house. Which I know is fortunate. But in some states it is much more feasible than others. My sister lives in a 3 bedroom house and pays $300 a month. We are both 5-10 miles from town though, which is no big deal. Preferable really. I know 1-2 bedroom apartments go around $600 in town. My other sister lives in North Carolina and pays like $25 a month in rent because she’s a state park ranger and lives in park housing 😂.
It would have been funny for them to show SF housing because the prices are similar but you get apartments smaller or way worse conditions.
Lmfaoo the houses are way too small my butt is too big I would knock everything down when I walk 😭😭💀✋
I would pick korea. Look at how beautiful the people are!!!
They all look the same. & I can say that because my moms Korean.
hiii
It's getting expensive outside the city because these damn transplants who drove up the NYC rents are venturing out. 😒 a 1bdroom in an ok neighborhood in my area is min $2k now. I'm 40 min by train outside the city & my apt is ~$1400, luckily in a rent controlled building I've been in for awhile.
Oh and that ur salary has to be 40x the rent for majority of buildings so u better have a good job or be ready to find a roommate. Let's not even mention that to move in u need 1st & last month rent plus security deposit. So for my apt if i was moving in today i'd need to make min $80k annually and $6000 upfront. That's not including the broker fee.
You should do video where you compare Korean houses to bigger houses in the US in largest cities like houses in Texas or Georgia where the house price is cheaper per sqft than New York
As i sit here in boston in a one bedroom behind a dive bar paying 1400
I find the washing machine in the kitchen so odd, it’s freaking me out a bit 😂
Omg that is ridiculous for the Korea price, I’m leaving in a 2/2 and paying 1500.
I pay only $425 a month for a single room in Phoenix, but access to utilities, including washer/dryer, wifi, and the kitchen. I'm too poor to pay more, and I don't need more than a single room.
👍👍👍👍
People don't forget the reason why rent is so low in Korea is because they have to put down thousands of $$$ to secure the apartment. Once they move out they get the deposit back.
Alot of Americans don't where shoes in there house but it's also rude to ask someone to take there shoes off so it can be a hassle sometimes
Not everyone is rich in US either
I couldn’t see anything coz the videos are covered by the cc
Can y'all compare wages with both countries
Minji is so funny! 🤣🤣🤣
i live in North Carolina, 2bed 2bath 1200sqft for $1475
Me: Still living with my parents 😁
Definitely thankful for where I live, these comments are crazy🥴my mortgage is $1300 for 3 bed 3 bath, 1700 sq ft condo here in Ohio.
There is a 0% chance that those NYC tours were unprepared. Even if they happened to be on their way home, nobody would let some guy with his camera come in, and despite the small size of the apartments, none of them had any clutter or mess. They were all perfectly cleaned, as if prepared to give a tour. I thought Seoul was more expensive than that! I'm glad it's not, but people in NYC might be getting paid more, if only to compensate for the extra cost of living there.
Lmaaoo rent on average in London is £900-£3000 per month for a decent place (not nice but liveable), but I've seen so many Korean youtubers complain about their rent in Korea what the hell
I’m on the Central Coast of California and I pay 2285 for a 3 bedroom home with a garage.
Show them the shack in San Diego going for half a mil and the burned out houses in LA and San Fran asking for nearly a mil and over. 😂
Wtf...I love in rural California and can't even rent a room under 500$. Time to move to new York I guess.
Wow good thing I am not living in NY, I pay 1700 a month for a golf front 4 bed, 3 bath, 4200sq ft home. I do not even want to know what that would cost me in NY.
For the price of rent in NY, you could have a mansion in Texas
Keep in mind Seoul is 8x the size of NYC.
My apartment is 3000 a month.
Texas is vastly cheaper, I am getting ready a 4 bedroom 2 bath house with 3 car garage that is 40 minutes outside of downtown Houston and I will rent it for 1800$, I got a 3 bedroom 1 bath house for 1000$. the big place is 3000sqf plus and the 3 bedroom is 1200sqf. my cheapest is a 2 bed 2 bath for 800$. mind you normal pay is much higher and there are tons of jobs within a few miles if you do not want to go into a city.
Seoul videos one have so long duration but the NY one are just so short. hmmm
Korea seems really cheap tbh.
I mean, if you think about moving to London (capital of the UK) You're looking at a minimum of like $800 for a shared room. For a studio on your own? Like $1,600.
Wait till u compare rent prices in Singapore. And if secondhand cars cost only $4000 in Singapore, each family would have 10 cars. 😆
Suggestion for next reaction. Boywithuke music video sick of u
These are rent controlled apartments, so it's not a realistic look. There are other more accurate examples of NYC rent. It's very expensive.
React to HOTD!
If they are surprised like this,then I wonder how they would react about the prices in Switzerland
Apartments in switzerland are less expensive then NYC. If we compare luxury to luxury then a NYC apartment can go even for 30k a month and not even a penthouse.
Also looking at an average apartment in Bern there are even 1600 bucks a month so again where is this "expensive" ? 😂 NYC is stated to be the most exepensive city
@@NickN56 I said it in general,not only talking about apartments.Also the priciest city is Zurich.
You can't even find an apartment for $300 in Kansas tbh....How is that super nice one room only $500 a month in Seoul?? The capital??? That's insanely cheap. Anything less than $1000 in Seoul to me is insanely cheap!
now i understand why foreigner telling rent house in my country is cheap
I thought Seoul was way more expensive than that
Where is she paying 650 in New York? How old is that? Even that 2000 seemed low for that view. I wonder if she has a roommates and that is her share? That 4K looked about right. My studio was 1000 and my 1 bedroom was 1700. Two and Three bedrooms are going for 2700 and up.
How much do Koreans get paid hourly or salary
$650 for a apartment in nyc!!!!!
Can you do Koreans react to Kai cenat
haha in israel you wont get anything near that with 660 dollars a month, back thten, years ago , the chepaest you can have to rent was a minimun 1130 dollars a month. nowdays they are all past 4000 shekels, and we dont have those small cheap houses like you can afford in japan or korea, those small studio apartments with a shared toilet and kitchen. we dont havr anything like that, so unless you cant afford or split with roomates above 1130 dollars, you aint moving no where out of your parents house. deposits are usuallly 5000 shekels wich is 1413 dollars. and if you rent a furnished apartmen then you can expect up to 10000 shekels
The exchange rate is nearly 1450 KRW for 1 USD... The translation is really annoying because the translator converts 1000 KRW to 1 dollar.
It makes their guesses completely different in the translation.
Paying $650 for an apartment would be a dream. Unless you live in a horrible neighborhood no place in America is $650
