EPIK Apartment Tour! Rent-Free EPIK Apartment with OCEAN VIEW! | Busan, South Korea

Hey there!
This is the ultimate apartment tour of my RENT-FREE EPIK apartment with an ocean view in Busan, South Korea that was provided to me through the EPIK program!
As an EPIK teacher, you are provided with a free apartment until your contract ends (which you can also renew every year!).
I’ve been living in this apartment for about a year and a half now and thought I should do a proper tour!
Check out my Instagram @Curious_Kimchi for eye-popping pictures of food and travels in Korea!
Hope you enjoy this video!

During breaks or holidays like if the school is closed for summer or Christmas... your apartment is still paid for right? Especially when returning for another year or during that period before your new contract do you have to cover it

[@curiouskimchi8575]

Yes! Your school will continue to pay for your apartment even when it's closed for the holidays. Your housing is covered until your contract expires, which you can always renew for another year. If you don't like your apartment, you also have the option of finding your own place to live and your school will subsidize the cost up to ~400,000 won.

You are so lucky to have that view! Wow 😍😍 Great EPIK placement not everyone is this fortunate 😩

Thank you, I agree. I was really lucky to get this apartment. I'm no longer with EPIK now so I don't live here anymore.

Your flat is nice. Even though not very big that view!! Makes it all worth it. I am moving to Busan in March. Currently living an hour away in Changwon.

[@curiouskimchi8575]

Thanks Chastity! Hope your dream comes true one day! South Korea is definitely a great place to be a teacher :)

[@ikramejiminaaahpark7257]

Sorry for these questions, but I will come to Korea next year. Can you tell me how much the rent, the mortgage money, and the name of the place where these buildings are located

[@curiouskimchi8575]

Hey there, so the program that I'm with, EPIK, pays for my rent. The only thing I have to pay for are electricity, water, and gas. I live near Hadan which is in the western part of Busan. Hope that helps

[@ttylxoxo5991]

The apartment is so cozy 🤗

[@DarkSide-mk2ij]

No word for your apartment..such a well organized...😊 Well can you tell me please is it possible to be English teacher in South Korea if your primary language is not English..?? Sorry for bad Eng..

[@curiouskimchi8575]

Hello there! To teach for EPIK, you have to come from a country where the national language is English. So for example, people from countries such as America, Canada, Australia, The UK, and South Africa are eligible to apply. Hope that helps

[@ttylxoxo5991]

@@curiouskimchi8575 oh but what if we come from a French speaking country but we are fluent in English like a native ? Is there still no chances ?

[@busanbasics247]

Love your view! Wish our apartments had views like that!

[@Ceodrasforge]

Hey, I’m thinking of applying to EPIK, can you choose where to go? I know there’s a list of preferences but idk if they actually take those into account

[@cherrylobrido6582]
