I think that this apartment size is perfect for living alone.
It really is, I love it!
Yeah definitely I am looking forward to apartment like this as well. I kinda of like living alone LOL Thinking about living alone in such a nice place making me excited
Hello my friend
Yeah. I want to live there qwq
Exactly 👍
This is the most efficient space I've ever seen. How cute.
So amazing right
ua-cam.com/video/5RUP-FukRQ0/v-deo.html
Agree! This is the nicest layout for a studio apartment!
It doesn't look or have the feel of a home. And looks like a show room from IKEA 😂😂😂
Right! Big and Wide is not always good. Usually too-big houses require a lot of labour to maintain. In real life situation, Appropriately-big and clean comfortable house is the best choice.
I have HUGE respect for nations that have made recycling an everyday part of their life. Not recycling doesn't make sense.
Aka, russia
Paper(remove all the box tape), Coated paper, Can, Bottle, Plastic, Transparent plastic, Plastic bag, Food waste, battery, light bulbs, Styrofoam, waste(put them in special bin liner which we have to buy. ) These are the list we have to separate.
@@user-rb7qs7lw8x yes, we should do that but the question is: do our countries / governments really care about recycling? In Europe many people put into recycling containers plastic, tins, papers, glass but our governments lie about recycling them. Companies responsible for recycling send rubbish and electronic stuff to Asia and Africa. Germans illegally send their rubbish to Poland, (German government knows about that but does not care). Many people care about natural enviroment but all our effort is often in vain because of stupidity and greed, and it starts from simple people to politicians.
omg the way she talks and acts you can tell she's one of those teachers who everyone loves
Mhmm, also one of those teachers that are well organized but maybe have their ‘days’ but always have their presentations well coordinated
one of the thing that i envy the most about korean house is their door's system,like lmao that is soooo frickin' cool !
You can just order some online ~ it ain't cheap tho..
Korea is hightech their doors was like that, all like that for many years now.
Yess im pretty sure u can find one online and install it on your doors
Same I envy those kind of doors too. High security👍
The only thing I don’t like is that a lot of them open out instead of in. I like them to open in for security reasons.
I like how efficiently designed the space is. Tons of storage for such a small space!
It's not "tons of storage"
@@Mikichan85 for how small the space is, it definitely is a lot of storage lol
Shoutout to your camera person, great job they did.
Like for real, amazing job 👏🏽
I love your apartment!!!! I live in a studio apartment in NYC, it’s a co-op and the owner is Korean. She gutted the apartment and made it super cool with more storage than I could have possibly dreamed off. It’s tiny, close to 400 SQF, but with the design you don’t need much furniture. I can fit a 72in dining room set and host my family of 10 for dinner. Koreans sure know about efficient home design!
I’m a huge fan of Asian living. Man they’re much cleaner than we are.NOTE: No, this isn’t a negative comment. I’m simply admiring.🤩
I take it u live in America
Parme San I do. I’ve always enjoyed Asian living. I like watching UA-cam videos of them.
#ARMY #MOA Bighit is dope! It’s okay. I didn’t see any hate or rudeness from Parme San. Thank you for your support!
#ARMY #MOA Bighit is dope! I do too. I didn’t see it at first. Regardless, I love our country too. Every country has flaws.
Being proud of your country doesn't mean blindly accepting everything about the country, yes love your country but accept the flaws too n like that person said Korea ( not every Asian countries, but japan n Korean I can vouch ) is 100 times more clean than America
You randomly got recommended and I sure enjoyed watching you, you have a sweet voice and a beautiful apartment.
Thank you so much! 😊
@@taylerwithane s/he's right, such a lovely voice.
Qa
Same here though this isnt a ”new” video anymore. You got a new subscriber here ❤️ You have such a soothing and calmin voice and presence, I’m excited to see your other videos!
@@taylerwithane do you really live rent free?
All I heard was “rent free”
THAT'S WHY I CLICKED 🤣🤣
Me too
many English teachers in Korea get their housing paid for- it’s really cool. all you have to have is your bachelors degree, dedication to work hard and a passion for teaching. you should definitely look into this opportunity before settling down!
Lmao
ua-cam.com/video/EO6XaRdRCKQ/v-deo.html
I love everything about the apartment. It is well considered; spacious; clean and bright. It complements your radiant sense of self beautifully. Great use of every space - without a cramped feeling. I love what you have done with your beautiful home!
Thank you so much! 😊
@@taylerwithane you are so welcome. So refreshing to watch, and real. Your authenticity makes your channel great. Too many people are pretentious when showing their spaces.
Your video shines. X
Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. 😌
I was so shook when you opened that closet and it was a fridge 😭
Sameeee😂😂😂
I was pleasantly surprised by how big it is.
Why did it scare/upset you?
@@miss.l.1563 not scared, suprised lol
I am Korean living in Canada. What I miss most is the warm feeling of the floor! I can't sleep at night because of the hot air blowing noise from the duct. I hope that you have a good time in Korea. :)
진짜 온돌 너무 그리워요! 바닥에 깔린 카펫도 힘들고 열쇠로 문여는 것도 적응이 안되구.. 집안에 tech라곤 없어요 ㅠㅠ 대신 넓죠 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
뭔가 큰집은 청소할때 힘들어서 ㅠㅠ 대가족이 아니라면 작은집도 괜찮은듯 싶어요
Funny I'm a Canadian moving to Korea and what I'm most worried about is how hot it's going to be! I'm too used to the cold lol
@@haleyg4250 It goes down to -25 celcius in the Northern cities like Seoul and doesn't go above 30 degrees so it should be quite a bit colder than places like Vancouver.
I'm Canadian and have heated floors? A choice
Korean technology never ceases to amaze me. You are so lucky to have a free apartment. I am very impressed how clean, neat, and uncluttered your apartment is. That said I am sure you cleaned it before this video, but it is still impressive.
Clearly everything has it's own space.. it's minimalist living.. so I'm sure she keeps it that clean all the time..
The electronic keypad door system is very ideal for secured living esp for a woman living alone. ❤️ It auto-locks right after you close it.
There was even a South Korean stalking case (I've seen the CCTV video) where a young lady got away from a stalker/attempt home intruder because he was 2 steps late after she close her door. 😱 I wish we have that door system here in my country.
That mini rice cooker is super cute.
Thanks!! 😊
@@taylerwithane how much does it cost ?
I paid about 25,000 won, which is about $20 usd
Prolly still cooks for a resturant!!
I love how they design the apartments so efficiently within small space
This apartment is genius! I love how all the storage fall in the right places 😭
I’ve only gotten through a minute and thirty six seconds, but I had to pause and tell you that your so beautiful.
Aww thank you! 😊
This comment is literally so wholesome 😩✨💖 there needs to be more comments this wholesome
I agree. She is a cutie!
Korean Apartments and the lighting and security systems are so cool
💯🙂
heating too
Finally a room tour that’s structured. It’s a space that I would love to stay in as well. First time seeing the washing machine in the toilet with space for drying - most room tours had the washing machine under the kitchen cabinets. Useful and well-thought design.
I love this apartment. I live in Louisiana and I have a traditional home that I had built. But boy I wish I had these tech features in my home. I saved your video so I can someday upgrade to those tech lighting, doorbell, and entry features that your apartment has. I need to see your video again to remember exactly what it is I want when I get to that point.
This video is a perfect example of space saving design! Redefining small space into a livable design!
This is the best korea apartement tour ever..
Ah you're so kind, thank you! 😊
@@taylerwithane your welcome ms tayler.. please be safe ❤
In combined washer/drier you must remove half of the clothes already washed in order to properly dry them. Then you change and add the second half . Otherwise you'll "cook" inefficiently your clothes and will take this ridiculous amount of time have them done. Also, a 45min wash for full load of clothes is perfect. To dry, half of this will take 1h20min . In total you should not take more than 4 hours to have everything done instead of 7 hours as you mentioned
So good to know, thank you! 😊
when she said "tayler with an e", I thought it was spelled taylore lmao
😂 understandable
Me too 😊😂😂
😄😄
Fannnnci
I thought it was Taelor XD
A buddy of mine came back a year or two ago from teaching in Korea. He has the most amazing stories - including one where he got lost in an alley. A few women asked him if he liked cats, which evidently he responded correctly and was invited into a monastery. He ate with them in silence as more and more food came out. Even a round of watermelon which I believe is a delicacy, or at least served with more reverence there.
I love how tidy person you are, that apartment looks like larger than actually, it's such nice room arrangement ❤
If I was tired or inebriated I would accidentally turn on the shower instead of the sink
That's a good way to refresh/sober you up😂
Once in my airbnb in Seoul, I did this when I just woke up and were about to wash my face. Let's just say that I took a shower instead of a simple face wash.
😂😂😂 you reminded me of few incidents that happened to me. My bathroom is Asian style too... Once i was getting ready to go out and went to wash my legs since i feel little sweaty. By mistake i turned the shower 😂😂😂✌🏻 God's plans are better than ours..
ROFLROFLROFLROFL
It’s the use of the word inebriated for me xD
this apartment is so much nicer than some of the apartments here in Japan.
Yes, definitely for teacher housing.
oof I've heard of some teachers (hagwon not public school) being placed in seedy love motels so it depends! I also read a story about a girl who had to live with the principle for her first three weeks so it depends I suppose
The level of wholesome this woman possesses is addicting 🥺
hi, the way you explained everything was very impressive, i like to watch apartment tour, the way other explained very haphazard but your one is simple, short and to the point, just like a good presentation. loved it.
Thanks you so much! 😊
Yes. I find some people spend too much time showing/explaining every individual item. For example, if they're showing bathroom storage they will pick up each item and talk about it.
Beautiful apartment, Tayler! A nicely done tour.
It's amazing how much storage can be fit into such a small space. I love Korean officetels and wish they were commonplace in other countries.
from the i've seen korean apartments are so simple and clean!! i really want to study in korea in the future. not cause i like kpop, but because the fashion, the people, and the education system is so nice :D
What’s so nice about their education system?
@@_bupe425 I want to ask that too. LOL
@diminiekith Education system is hell.
But due to the hellish education system, average Koreans are quite smart, and that's the positive results from the grueling ed. system.
Such system produce engineers and architects who build efficiently designed, high tech apts like this. And that is good.
@@dionysus4778 as a korean mum, ive got a british born daughter who went to a state school which i found hugely disappointing due to the quality of the education n its system itself.
Then, i sent her to a private school with paying fees, which was more satisfying with a bit more systematic education n some other extra curriculum that the state schools dont provide.
But in the end, i sent her back to korea for education, plus she could master korean language and learn the culture.
As a young child, i think its crucial to understand how important the education is and to achieve good academic results, they need to learn good work ethics that will be beneficial throughout their lives.
Yes in korea there is a huge pressure on education, but most students still enjoy the whole experience and a few other fun events alongside, but in the west students have so much free time that can b easily wasted doing nothing and they are not as driven as korean students to make individual achievements.
As i went to uni in uk, i appreciated to learn critical thinking and writing essays, which Korean schools are lacking, but other than that Korean education system has some good aspects and it's achieved in very high qualities.
@@ykuk1380 Definitely agree that there are pros and cons! In my opinion the North American education system is horribly lacking in so many aspects
@@_bupe425 korea and japan have good education systems, they are tough but they are good and they know what they are doing.
That apartment has more storage space than mine which is more than twice the size. It just proves that the important thing is not how much space you have, but how you utilise it.
I k r! I have lots of space but am sooo disorganized. I long for a tiny apt. Moving toward minimalized ORGANIZED living space. I must downsize my clothing and kitchen. Too many things (furniture, clothing, pantry, dishes & items) that I truly don't even touch for months.
Wow you hit the jackpot with this gorgeous apt. Plus a washing machine, the best thing it is clutter free. Enjoy your time there glad I found this video will def subscribe now...........🤗🇨🇦
Thank you so much! 😊
So cool! I wish someone who designs apartments in Korea would come re-do my house interiors for maximum efficiency 😂
I was thinking the same thing! I have a family of 5 so a small apartment like that would never work, however, it would be amazing to have that sort of organization and efficiency on a larger scale!
Watching you just made me smile. You are a positive, warm and beautiful young lady. You are doing fascinating things with your life, and you seem very happy. Thanks for showing us your flat!
Aww I'm so glad and thank you so much! 😊
The little home button when leaving is so amazing, should be a normal thing everywhere.
the layout and use of space in this apartment??!!! so nice, your place is so cool 🙌🏽👌🏽
Such a beautiful and luxury apartment I have ever have seen...
Stay safe..
Thank you so much!
It is amazing how they cram so much in such a small space and make it look so neat at the same time. I love that switch that turns everything off at the same time. Not a fan of the sleeping mat , but everything else rocks!
"How much storage do you want?"
"Yes"
I’ve been obsessed with watching Asian apartment tours. I wish I could move to South Korea but I live in the US and can’t obviously do that easily or without regret lol.
"Without regret"? Why would you have regret?
Melanie Lovick-Lugo You know that South Korea isn’t all sunshine and rainbows right? Especially for foreigners that want to live there
True False yes, because the US is, right?😂😂😂
M B Of course not because we don’t live in an utopian world, however I can assure you that I would choose to live in the US over SK (if I had the opportunity to experience living in SK) especially with me being a black foreign female as well (this does not mean that I would not love to visit there; being a tourist and living there are two different experiences). But nice try 🤧
True False I live in the US and I can say that being yourself a black and in addition woman, you wouldn’t have an easy life. Even not white, or better any other human color, have an easy life. Besides the strong racial issues and discriminations ravaging in this country, hidden and not, the extreme individualism of which the American society is trenched, there are serious issues that effects everyday life and that regards breach of unalienable human rights such as access to exceptionally overpriced private health care and education systems that have basically become privileges only for who can afford it and causing people having often the only alternative to going into debts and eventually bankruptcy without mentioning its worrying lack of professionalism and so quality. Violence and massacres on a daily basis in churches, schools, movie theaters, malls because of the increasing crime rate clear reflection of increasing social and racial disparities and discrimination. A government that is governed not any longer by the people and for the people, but by the lobbyists and for the lobbyists. The list could go on. In other words, officially and manifestably a dictatorship disguised as democracy.
This place is great and, as everyone has commented, very efficient use of space! I could easily live here. Great that you get it for free from your employer! I live in San Francisco and I kind of wish there were a lot more units like this. Here people are either rich, have a very old rent-controlled unit that has not been upgraded, or are poorer and end up living in sub-par SRO-style places with shared toilets, vermin, and no kitchens. If there were just a ton of units like this everyone could have their own small place without it costing a small fortune!
This is such a great small apartment. The space is so efficiently used and all the storage is amazing. I love how you use the space.
I love how articulate and organized when you do your tour. Nice place!!! 👍🏼
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HOME!!! We have loved following your journey throughout Korea. We just moved to Korea to work as English Teachers and watching your amazing content has helped to finally get us to start our UA-cam channel about our adventures. Keep up the awesome content, can't wait for more! XX
Agreed! LOVE THIS APARTMENT. Good luck with your UA-cam channel Hatch Vacay, I hear it's very tough getting started.
I just checked out your channel, I really enjoyed your latest video. nice work :)
@@jacquiidixon3198 Thank you xx It certainly is hard to gain traction as the start but we are getting better with every video!
@@mitchellparker6505 Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it xx
@@HATCHLIFE1 Thank you so much!! And congratulations with your UA-cam channel! From what I see, you guys have a great start and it's only going to grow from here, keep it up! I hope you both are enjoying Korea so far 😊
I have never loved a apartment tour like this before you sound so sweet and cute and your apartment is so nice ♡
thank you so much!! 😊
Me tooo!! Omg 😍
This is the absolute best apartment that I have seen thus far. It is perfect for one person whereas all the other apartments I've seen have been very small & suffocating. I could actually survive in this particular unit whereas the other smaller ones would not even be a consideration. Tayler, your bubbly personality made this video a joy to watch & your company fun to share. Wishing you all the best & also hoping that your next apartment move will be as beautiful as your present spot.
Aww thank you so much! 😊
I actually really love this Apartment! The size isn’t bad for someone living alone, and makes it really easy to keep clean. I also think that the way they conserve space and all the high tech stuff in the apartment adds to the appeal. Its funny because I have the same rules for my home. No shoes in the house, and different slippers for the bathroom vs the rest of house. I need that recycling bag tho
This apartment is BEAUTIFUL!! I’m manifesting that I’ll get something like this later this year 🥰🥰 thank you for sharing!
Woooww... I loved this video apartment tour. Very straight forward, amazing editing, and last but not least what a beautiful apartment!!! Congrats.
I think this is a perfect use of space. I love that everything is so organized, and things are easily accesible. I enjoyed this video!
what a cute place! I love that outer door and that it opens OUT with hidden hinges is a bonus!
I love how clean and sleek your apartment is. Wooow
I feel so calm watching this lol. I love the soft, neutral tones and minimalist design. A nice apartment indeed!
That is a super effective and efficient living space layout and design for one person. Tons of storage and lots of natural light. Love it!
This video gives me so much joy! Your apartment is lovely and the good energy that radiates off you is just ugh chef's kiss xx
Omg! You’re so adorable! LOVE the apartment tour, very modern and clean. Thanks for sharing 💕
OMG a big clap up to the person who creates this apartment ! amazing ! soooo nice !!!
this apartment is sooo gorgeous!!!i love to see other houses from another countries,is a wonderfull experience!
Saw this video on my recommended page and I am so happy I watched it. This is a beautifullllll apartment, I like that it has a lot of storage and how efficiently you have used the space!
im already planning out my life alone in that room. ugh, I LOVE your apartment!!! thanks for the tour
wow,u actually gave me the positive vibe just by watching an apartment tour.stay safe sis!
Her personality is so bright and cheerful, Love it!
I love this apartment! It's very bright and clean and very modern. I like that there's composting and recycling going on. There's a ton of space for storage. And the gadgets are super cool. This looks like a nice place to live. And kudos to you for teaching out of country.
Such a compact and organized apartment. I like the layout of the space.
Enjoyed the video, great job!
Love your apartment and wonderful to see South Korea valuing their teachers! ✨🧡✨
I absolutely adore your apartment! Korea is so innovative. This makes me super excited to begin my teaching abroad career!
What a nice apartment!! I love it! And you’re so neat and organized! 💛
This is actually the most lovable recommendation and ideal apartment for me its so clean and nice💯
I watch so many Korean series and actually seeing you living just like them and the level of cleannnnnnnnnnn ooooooh my oooh my am in love with your chanel already...
Love your space and the design. Sleek, efficient and space saving! 😍 I really like the dish drying rach above the sink instead of being on counter top. Have a wonderful day! 😊😊😊
Wow, your flat is so so nice! And you’ve put this video together so we’ll!!
We’re moving to Korea to teach with EPIK In February too, so this has been super interesting. Thank you!
I never knew what people meant when they say they get a random recommended video that they loved!
But I get it now.
Your presence, your energy, your decoration/organization style, your vibe are GREAT:)
New subscriber 😁😁😁😁
Really nice! I'm about to apply for the EPIK program for later this year and the apartment situation is on that has caused me some worry. But it's nice to know that at least some of the apartments are a lot better than before.
*I love the thoughtful layout and features of this apt!! Thanks for sharing!* 🥰
Good to see all the upgrades. Been 21 yrs since I was last there. Love it, thanks for sharing.
I love this apartment! Good size and looks very modern but cozy ^^ I'm currently going through the application process for EPIK so I'm hoping I get accepted and get an apartment as nice as this!! Of course it's not guaranteed though so I love watching tours like this to keep an open mind and prepare me for what I might end up with :)
I've been to Korea once and plan on going back after high school. This video made me look forward to going back as I also want to going into teaching.❤️
Aghh I miss korea so oooooo much ❤️
this is honestly one of the best ones I have seen. I live in Daegu, and am on the small and outdated side of the apartment style. I am moving to a new one on my own next year. beautiful place, you must be super happy about that.
you’re so nice and kind 🥺🥺 idk why but this video made emo😭😭 ily tf
I like the apartement so much, thats super comfy and literally my style, like the perfect apartment that i want it. Also the explanation of the apart so good, keep going 👍
Aww thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Though the apartment is so small, love how they made it very efficient! Lot of storage space! Helps to keep it nice and organize. Very nice apartment :)
Thank you so much for your videos! My daughter will be leaving soon for Gyeongnam Province to teach and as a mom, I was concerned. Your videos have calmed my nerves quite a bit. She has traveled abroad several times so that helps but it is nice to see how you enjoy your stay there. Your apartment is so nice. Best of luck to you and thank you again for your videos!
Wow I really love this apartment tour thank you for your time ans bringing us into your home and sharing what its like living in Korea.
I’ve seen a lot of Korean apartment tours onUA-cam but I think this one is the best. I love that the toilet area is separated cause I definitely wouldn’t go for the taking a shower with the toilet types.
A shower with the toilet was idea to rinse/clean down everything.
Beautiful apartment. You have just the right amount of dishes and things! ( I love your Disney ear collection! ❤️)
I love this video! I usually don’t like home tours but yours is so relaxing to watch. Your voice is so soothing. This is a great video. Thank you!
Thank you so much! 😊
I don’t normally watch these videos, but yours popped up in my feed. I enjoyed seeing your place and thought you did a great job laying out your tour. It makes me want to take your classes, because I’d bet you’re a clear and concise teacher! And I must say, you are so cute! Keep living well in SK!
Thank you so much! 😊
You have such a positive & friendly aura! Glad I bumped into your video.
Stay blessed!
Thank you so much! 😊
I love your little apartment it’s so cute and futuristic at the same time. Seems very comfortable. I love South Korea.
I’m a flight attendant and one of my favourite trips is Seoul. For years we stayed in Incheon for our layover, first in the Sheraton and then when it opened we moved to the Oakwood next door. (Lotte Mart right beside it, heaven! 😄) This hotel is an apartment hotel and our beautiful rooms (probably twice the size of your flat) came with a fully equipped kitchen, a walk in closet and the best feature imo is the bathtub with a view over the city. This is also the tallest building in Incheon and the hotel part of it starts quite high up. The crew room had an almost 360 view of the area which I watched being built bit by bit over the years. I absolutely loved it and I always imagined that the apartments in Seoul are similar to our hotel room.
Unfortunately, like all good things, this had to come to an end as well. We were all gutted to leave this hotel. Now, we stay somewhere in south west Seoul in a normal Marriott, nice but nowhere near as fancy as the Oakwood.
Wow this is much different from what I've seen in hundreds lists of apartments there. Loved how fresh your apartment design is! Gives me new perspective to find when I go there again someday.
I literally loved every detail. It is is such organization that i fall in love with it
I just found your videos and I'm so excited. I'll be coming to korea in the fall to teach with EPIK. Your channel will be very helpful so thank you for documenting your experience!
I'm so glad! Teaching in Korea is an amazing experience 😊
This apartment is so beautiful!!! You so clean an organization, I love it!
Thank you so much! 😊
I have watched a lot of apartment tours by foreign teachers in Korea and in contrast to them your place is so neat and clean🤩 Many people say that foreigners who come to SK are so untidy🤮 so you’re an exception, good job!❤️
This is a delightful video. The apartment is lovely and well-planned and your delivery was fantastic!
Thank you so much! 😊
