Is it expensive to live there?

If you earn an American salary you could live very well. I wouldn't want to work for a local salary and live there. There are some downsides:

1.) Everyone lives in apartment complexes now. If you're super rich you can live in a house, or if you're super poor or live in a very rural area you might live in an old house.

The apartments can be very nice, but if you want your own land and house it might not be for you. My friend lived in a great house and had a decent amount of property when we were in the countryside, but even there most of the people lived in small apartment complexes.

2.) Salaries are lower and the job market is very competitive. As a foreigner you could screw around and teach English and get by, but if you're Korean it's much more difficult. It's hard to imagine for us, because in our society probably half or more of the population is lazy or retarded, so you're not competing against a large percentage of people, while in Korea pretty much everyone is trying their best.
