Co-living is gaining popularity in Korea as a new housing trend where individuals share a residential building while maintaining private living spaces. Each person has their own room for privacy, but they share communal areas like the kitchen, living room, bathrooms, study rooms, and even fitness centers. This setup not only fosters a sense of community but also helps reduce living costs, as utilities and shared space maintenance are divided among the residents. It is an attractive option for young professionals and students seeking affordable, convenient, and social living environments in expensive cities like Seoul, without the isolation of living alone.
