[@snishan95]

Apartment looks stunning at first look.. white and light brown shade make a good combo. Just loved it ❤.

[@djjuice]

The speaker in the bathroom is used when someone rings your apt from the entrance or front door. this way you can communicate or let them in. like a food delivery

[@wildebeauty]

Yes, Definitely , your place have much light be Beautiful to put a big palm 🌴 and some cactus 🌵

[@rezayaseri2790]

1st congratulations 💝💝💝 2nd isn't 730$ expensive per month? 3rd, you can try to keep cactus and Aloe Vera they are easy to grow, and 4th I'm sorry to ask because I don't know, you have a boyfriend!!! who is he? 💝

[@teyjay525]

링크 어디에 있어요?

[@tkjho]

2 suggestions: 1) If u turn the bed 90° or 180° and move it against the wider microwave wall, it may free up more space. 2) The stuck door is mostly likely not sitting on its track properly. You can just check the good side to see how it sit and jiggle the stuck one up and down to fix it.

[@mitzkt1679]

The shower curtain idea was a stroke of genius. I shared it with my daughter who lives in Seoul. Her shower is also open to the rest of the bath. I agree about the tree out your window. Very pretty.

[@anna.lee_jy]

Yes! I got mine on coupang and it was really easy to install- this is the link if you want it: link.coupang.com/a/bBFNiv

[@emg1060]

Love your new pad Anna! Maybe you could put real plants along the window floor, they’d thrive with the great light and plants purify your air! Maybe a foldable pretty screen or curtain in front of your kitchenette at night when you’re in bed so you don’t have to look at it? The coffee table/storage is genius. Everything is so organized! Nice upgrade!

[@anna.lee_jy]

Giving me ideas…thank you!!

[@mariamacrae5]

Aww. Anna's Dad is cute bless him- get him in the vlogs more :)

[@richardhanson4600]

Anna's Dad is a total hero.

[@anna.lee_jy]

Haha he starts asking for ‘appearance fees’ tho lol!

[@nicolewilson4058]

Congratulations! This apartment has so much more open space. It will definitely be cooler in the summer. It's good that you have so much storage space. I'm glad your Dad was able to help you. Moving can be so overwhelming. I see the fridge serves as a purse holder too. Lol! Hope you enjoy your new place. 🥰

[@jennyward]

Love the new apartment! Wishing you many great memories there!

[@Vgudorf]

Congrats, Anna. It’s such a cute apartment, and the vibe is really cozy. But the view is just chef’s kiss! Having the greenery and Hanok rooftop right outside is soothing to the soul. I hope you’ll be happy there for a long time.

[@giselagarza6293]

Love the light in your apartment. Your tv and table in your living room are nice! Love how you casually dropped the “my boyfriend” bomb😅 Congrats on your lovely apartment!

[@georgew8586]

Not once but twice

[@cindypoole6792]

Yah! So glad you finally posted this. Loving your new apartment. Just lovely. Just put self sticking "wood" like "wallpaper" inside your cupboard glass. That would be wayyyy easy. I love Temu as well.

[@augustomigom]

The natural light is doing wonders!

[@soo_chef]

Loving that green view and all that sunlight in the living room!! So rare in the city! ☀

[@anna.lee_jy]

So rare! And I when I went to view it, it was all cherry blossoms so I can’t wait for next spring 😊

[@auntieana9890]

Thank you for sharing your new home with us. I love all the natural light! Wishing you many wonderful memories. I hope your neighbors aren't as noisy as your former ones!

[@AdrainedS]

Oh wow, I love this apartment. Even with the limited space, they made great use with natural light. Hopefully you enjoy your stay in this new place!

[@youngforever6888]

You could always put curtains or a panel divider in front of the bed for when you have visitors and keep them open when you don't have visitors.

[@eyenot9327]

Really nice apartment. Looks very homely. Wishing you every happiness in your new home 💜

[@bmsnow]

It looks so nice, actually ✨ you made great choices with the furniture!!!

[@Kaliwmakeup]

Your style is so cute! I love the feel especially the living room with natural light, and your cozy bedroom in the evening, the tv is so cool and you could use the fireplace videos on yt for a vibe!! I feel like it is so rare for big windows like that in a smaller apartment like yours, definitely a great find! Also boyfriend drop! 😉 you’re thriving, girl! Doing your makeup while you play a vinyl on your new player would be a whole vibe!

[@dr.johnyoo]

sickkk pad . love the esthetics and the color scheme . and what a great value!!

[@tora6738]

no way it has already been this fast . I dont watch your channel regally but i do remember your old apartment as i love those videos. how time flies

[@nicolasrobitaille3259]

Really cool your new apartment. The star is definitely the large windows. Love it.

[@MrTobi013]

Oh Anna, it's a beautiful place! I hope you'll make plenty of happy memories in your new home!

[@jbla209]

Hello Co-Army(sorry I am just presuming💜). Love this tour. Just learned from you that my fave color and sunflower are significant in your country because it gives me much comfort, when all other people that surrounds me don't believe so. Thank you for sharing and good luck on your new apartment🎉

[@twowheelsandcroissant]

Papa Lee is so nice!! Envious you can rent at that price in Seoul, we pay nearly double pretty much in metro area in Melbourne here for a single bedroom apartment.. Great video tour btw, plenty of natural light, love it!!

[@annette_164]

Lovely apartment Anna😊 it’s nicer than the loft style I think. Palo Santo smells so good! Burning it also encourages positivity into your space.

[@eshtermaria6884]

Great apartment and love the colors of furniture. I love the big window and TV that could be moved around.

[@KowanJane]

Anna, please make some more videos of why it’s an option to move to SK for Korean Americans and Asian Americans. As an Asian American I’m moving to Asia from the U.S. because of extreme issues here, chiefly among them anti-Asian hate. Please put the message out there. I’ve contacted other Asian influencers as well with this same request. ❤. And I love your videos. You’re a smart, pretty gal, and tough as nails

[@copaqueen]

Thank you for sharing your new apartment with us. It is cute and love all the storage. Light is so important. Enjoy your new space.

[@orange_tea]

Just a tip, if you get direct sunlight make sure ithe sun rays dosn't hit your perfume bottles! lovely place! and so much light!

[@blablabla6-k2d]

That light works for you, gorgeous!

[@melissabutler2978]

Love the light, I'm thinking of moving to Korea soon and it's good to see places that get so much light.

[@michellesantos6706]

Its so cute!!! I love the way you decorated!!! I bought that same ice cube tray masker from temu for my boyfriend. He has a bar & needed a separate ice maker. Thank you for showing how it works! Congratulations on your new place. Your TV & Stereo are so nice! Thank goodness for awesome parents! ❤

[@thewellbeingagent]

Love that your from U.k…it’s easy to watch cause it’s like watching a bestie travelling abroad

[@michellemckinney4678]

Anna! This was so much fun to watch! I especially loved your numerous perfume fragrances. Congratulations on your new place!

[@jameel2076]

Great job 👏🏾 I'm happy for you enjoy your new place anna

[@Omar_Hassan]

its really a nice apartment & the tree in front of the window makes it more Pleasant 🥰

[@Chris-V2011]

It's lovely! You've done really well and yes, that front room is the highlight of your apartment.

[@snishan95]

Apartment looks stunning. Loved ❤ your vlogs. Congrats 🎉🎉 for the new apartment. Hope you have a nice stay. Love you ❤.

[@slavvalb3933]

Nice apartment, Anna. 🏆 Many happy years and cozy life there. Loved your hair during live. It makes u look younger ❤️

[@TinyFox.]

your tiny little house is just SO CUTE.... seriously 👌🥰 you have a great taste for neutral classic but cute and fun stuff 🌈🫶

[@complexxcutie6887]

CONGRATULATIONS!! On the new place,it's adorable ❤ And I love your new Cherry Red hair!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Looks fabulous on you.

[@anna.lee_jy]

Thank you!! ♥️

[@lz738]

Looks so nice! I would love to see you do some renter-friendly design fixes. Like maybe something in your bathroom. I bet it could be a little more fun and fit your personality better. Also, the fake plants in your window are definitely an improvement, but it would be even nicer to put a bunch of low (short) plants there. Plants in the home are good for mental health and they clean the air in your home.

[@ELTExperiences]

Thank you for apartment tour. I have felt that I should do a video too about my living space in Daejeon and the pros and cons of living in a villa. I need a villa to accommodate my cats so they can go out on the veranda and get some fresh air.

[@zullies]

You made the best of it! beautiful space nonetheless. Wondering what's the door at the of the room/ by the window? Is it a laundry/ service yard?

[@RockingMarshall]

Wooow Anna!!! Your new apartment looks more spacious and you're really practical about all the living space. 😍🤩👍

[@zaidmoges374]

Cheers to your new place! Always good to see greenery. "This building was built in 2003"... FYI- that is on the newer side compared to a lot of other countries. I heard a tour guide talk about a building that was built in 1970, which she called a modern building. (crazy I know.)

[@jolippert397]

Congrats on your new place...it is so cute! I have a 3-bed, 2-bath home, with a den, dining room, laundry room but no garage. Storage is a big issue with me too....I think I'm in denial about all the "stuff" I have...I usually purge (kinda) once a year, and I still donate stuff!! Love the perfumes!!

[@sharaineroberts8537]

I love the new place. You seem to really like it. In a year, when the "new place honeymoon" is over, I hope you can give us an assessment of the pros and cons about the place.

[@blessingsoutlaw]

Perfect space, dear Anna! Out of curiosity, what is behind the door directly opposite your makeup vanity?

[@stephenedwardpaynter]

Yes ... I wondered too.

[@anna.lee_jy]

I forgot to include :( it’s the laundry room where my washing machine is!

[@dougmiller5849]

WOW! $730 in Gagnam. How was this found? Seoul is expensive enough, but that is a REALLY good deal. Even homes in areas outside of Seoul are going for more. Well done 👍

[@kaiparker1756]

I was just searching a few hours ago and ngl this doesn't seem too unusual for price, sometimes they're smaller but the deposit on those apartments in Gagnam are crazy

[@anna.lee_jy]

Yep this is pretty standard rent! My deposit was 10 million won, so about $7300, which is on the low side for deposits

[@chloe.m342]

It depends on where you are looking to rent, gangnam is one of the most expensive places to rent if not the most. I was living in gunja which is about 20 minutes from gangnam and my rent was only 370,000 ₩ or around 250 euro the building was 1999 and definitely not as nice as this place, but there are lots of cheap places around seoul i would recommend going into the 부동산 for cheaper places thats how i found my place!!

[@bruz754]

i love your apartment. EVEN, your clear kitchen cabinets are very nice! ❤

[@lakenneth374]

Sephora refills perfume bottles, but it’s only applicable to selected items. So, you must know about the refillable perfumes that Sephora provides to avail of this offer. This depends on the brand’s current policy as well as the store location that you are visiting.

[@sorayaellison9510]

Congratulations, Love tour new apt, don't be afraid and get yourself some plants they would love being in front of that large window👍

[@lealarsen2017]

wow i love your table it´s so smart. korea is really good at designing tiny living furnature it seems like. i want that tabel because it can be liftet op if you want to eat in the living room instead

[@Ykoz2016]

I really like the new place, I think you were 💯 right about the living room/ bedroom arrangement, I love all the secret storage spaces hidden inside the furniture, and I think you were right not to get the bed frame. 😂 I think that covers it? 😂👍❤️

[@roryscottbrown]

Good video Anna. I like the fake grass idea and that table is really cool. I'm curious if that table is available in Canada.

[@minnie1185]

Apartment is super cute…. And looks like we are neighbours! I finally came to SK 2 weeks ago on a working holiday and am based in Gangnam too 🤩. Very true about the tree being a novelty in this area….its all shiny high rises, offices and shopping, but I’m in a great little area with lots of cafes, restaurants and bars. If you happen to hear someone randomly shout out your name in excitement whilst walking the streets, that might just be me 😂🙋🏻‍♀️

[@anna.lee_jy]

😁 please say hi if you see me!

[@euniceannecapili654]

So excited for you for this new chapter, Anna!!! Please do vlogs. I love your vlogs as I always learn a thing or two and your lifestyle inspires me.

[@ValyTraveler]

Cute apartment - have tried looking into - Murphy Beds?... The ones that fold up into the wall - they also have storage and will give you the floor space...

[@tglenn3121]

Congratulations. It looks like a very nice place. Wishing you a wonderful experience in your new home.

[@sonithakur8084]

Loved your new apartment and it looks so aesthetic!

[@scanspeak00]

Beautiful home! Love the light and colour. I want/need that coffee table and LG TV!! 10:00 looks like an old-school intercom. Looks like you need some sort of proper electronics charging station on your bedside table.

[@broncoxy]

Around 700 bucks seems like a pretty good price, also considering that Gangnam is one of the nicer areas if I'm not completely mistaken; here in Germany, you can easily pay that in a small, boring town already and it gets really funky when you get to the big cities (Berlin, München, etc) that are maybe more comparable to smth like Seoul~ _(but your deposits are crazy tho)_ If you don't mind me asking, I'd be very interested what 'normal' prices in Seoul for a small apartment look like; is an apartment like you got it something that is common or is it more of a unicorn? How much do prices fluctuate when you change districts, which are the most pricey ones and which ones are more affordable? In general, how much money do you have to plan in if you want a small one-person apartment (so baiscally a room, a kitchen and a bathroom)? I plan on studying a semester in Seoul soon (after really liking my 2022 vacation in SK ^^) and although I might also just live in uni dorms if possible, It'd be nice to know about the alternatives and general housing situation. Also: Do korean house renting prices normally include water, energy and internet already or is that taken care of seperatly? I'm sorry for all the questions, but I'd be really thankful for an answer~ _btw I didn't have internet for like two weeks upon moving into my current apartment :)_

[@sharpasacueball]

I live in a much larger apartment at half the price 20 mins away from Seoul. I didn't know Germany was that expensive :o. Gangnam is the most expensive part of Seoul, you can find one-rooms at about 300 to 550 per month but the deposits vary wildly anywhere from 1k to 45k (USD)

[@sharpasacueball]

Also I have never seen a place that had water and energy included with the rent. I've only seen that with airbnbs

[@broncoxy]

@@sharpasacueball Thanks for the info! 300-500 bucks seems pretty cheap as I've heard Seoul was quite expensive... I'll have to see for myself I guess, the deposite are crazy tho, do Koreans do that much damage to their rented space lol And yes, Germany is super expensive; I pay ~420€ cold (could easily pay more, but lived here before prices got really bad) for my 22 square meter one-room in a little ugly town that nobody knows and nobody wants to know. (Add ~60€ for water and energy and 40€ for internet.)

[@JXJ83]

Nice apartment. You really utlize space in it. I like your ice tray and the container. Very clever.

[@lealarsen2017]

it´s kind of crazy how expensive it is in korea. i live alone in a 3 bedroom apartment i don´t remember the square meters but my living room is bigger than your whole apartment i think. it´s about 5 x 7 meters or so, and i have two small rooms at the size of your bedroom and kitchen. and i have a large separate kitchen and i pay maybe 800 $ a month

[@hamzaagens]

omg, did you mean to say "crazy how expensive it is in korea" or "inexpensive" - I'm sorry I've mostly lived in NYC / Brooklyn past 19 years, and I couldn't find anywhere that was less than $800 a month...in 2006!

[@angua65]

Not only it's nice light trough that window, there's a tree (very important!) and also what look like some old style roof (old family home or something?)

[@Vkim._]

I want that ice thing 😭😂 honestly am a refugee in Egypt and I was complaining about the small space in my apartment comparing to my huge house in Sudan but my friend send me videos about Asian apartments and am now more than satisfied with my Egyptian apartment space and I think it’s not expensive as I thought at first 😂

[@AnnaCarolina305]

Hello! I love your new apartment! I wanted to ask you what is included in the rent? For example, electricity, water, and,or WiFi. I look forward to more of your videos. Thank you!

[@emcara6334]

I love the tv! It’s so cool! Congrats on the move Anna! 🍌❤️

[@joyelcock2409]

Wow, first time tuned into your channel. Loving the tour of your apartment. Gave me ideas too. I’d love to meet you and grab some of their beauty products 😂. You’ve inspired me greatly this morning. I live in Barbados, Caribbean. Good job and I’m impressed.

[@ggjjffvghjfdhy8124]

I love the apartment it looks so cozy and so Pinterest like ❤

[@yunalee13]

A tiny house like this reminds me the small houses that university students in Greece have.

[@Eleazar888]

@11:40, believe it or not, there is a simple solution to dividing your room from your kitchen. #1, Murphy beds. I'm pretty sure you have in korea. 2 I will recommend you a interior designer in Korea that helped one of his client with similar issues. His name is Phil Jung. The video is: NEVER TOO SMALL episode 102, ( because I can't share the link😅) So. I hope you enjoy the video. I hope it helps. I loved your living room❤. Best part for me

[@michaelaeriksson]

Your place looks so pretty ❤

It's looking amazing...I hope you're happy 😊... and congrats...❤

[@Ykoz2016]

For the earbud issue- As a child I use to get my ears cleaned out by a doctor using a water pick because I have a lot of build up, so cotton swabs were never going to be enough for me. Plus I’m zero waste as much as possible and don’t like disposable things (and earbuds use to be cotton and cardboard but now it’s often plastic 😣). But I also didn’t want to invest in a professional water pick machine either. My solution- metal ear cleaning tool kit. Does a better job, keep forever, and the result/ sensation is 👍 (I think you can even find it on temu 😂) Highly recommend (I was going to mention it when you went to the doctor last time but forget. Glad I have another opportunity)

[@anna.lee_jy]

I think I used to have a metal one but I’ve lost it…I’ll get a new one, thanks!

[@mariselamorillo2515]

Hi Anna. Do they return the deposit after you moved? That is really expensive compare to the US which is usually one month rent. Thank you! Enjoy your new apartment😊

[@WhatMikeisEvolving1]

Looks like a nice apartment! Have a nice time in Gangnam!

[@afridasultana21]

nice apartment and better than the before I guess because it looks more spacious

At your previous apartment, did you have to pay a monthly rent also or just the deposit amount, $10,000,000? Deposit amount is called jeonse?

Hi Anna, I really like your coffee table. Where can I buy it?

[@aquagamer1212]

Tour starts at 5:26 😊

[@ἀπόστολος14]

I bought my GF Female Christ by 19-69 just on the name alone, of course she doesn't like it. It smells like a pastry shop. Perhaps consider a segment of walking around Seoul with an architect or a designer. Seoul's urban identity is quite different from neighboring countries cities, and this can be seen in the architecture. There is this deconstructed unfinished aesthetic that is brilliantly slummy and Blade Runner, with exposed everything, including wires and rebar, but still has the taste. If someone needs a door, they will just knock out a hole in the wall and leave it with the rebar sticking out. It's really well done and inadvertently brilliant. It's worth just visiting Seoul with a compact camera with a 50mm lens for this single purpose.

[@euniceannecapili654]

I love your living room. I would definitely be able to grind there all day!!!

[@nicoletan7056]

I like your new apartment! Btw, may I ask, where did you buy the Tirtir products? I could not find them in Korea :(

Your new gangnam seoul apartment looks super stunning ❤🥰!!! Where'd you find this new seoul Korean gangnam South Korean apartment at??? Did you find it on airbnb maybe?

I used an app called Zigbang!

[@sitisweet92]

Hi... Sis can u recommend the affordable apartment? Coz im really eager to it

[@sundynightlive]

I love your apt! You could get a Murphy bed, and then no one would see your bed as you entertain, or film.

[@Sam-ss2lo]

Nice place. Rent is Very reasonable but the deposit is crazy high compared to the rent. Does the rent include any utilities,electric , gas internet? How long does it take to get Your Security Deposit back from the old place?. I can't imagine putting up 15K to move.

[@anna.lee_jy]

Yep the system here in Korea is a bit different! The rent doesn’t include bills so that’s all separate, and my deposit from the previous apartment, I got back immediately on the day I moved out!

[@derekjohnson77]

Nice job Anna!
