I think the biggest problem with the space other than the lack of windows and ban on guests (poor people need love too, if not more so) is the thickness of the walls. If the walls were thicker the beds and desks could fold up into them and shelf / drawer space could also be created, leaving room for an office chair and maybe even a sofa. Design can go a long way in making a place more comfortable. Hope they clean that window. What is amazing about the space is the free laundry, filtered water, rice, kimchi, and rooftop access. I love that they thought about these things because it actually shows that they care (as well as them keeping the building clean and maintained) and aren't there simply to nickel and dime the poor. I love and appreciate that they are trying their best. Good video over all and hope to see you all make more videos together in the future.

@paintbokx 15 күн бұрын

Of course the walls are thin, but it's only really a place for making some basic food, showering, and sleeping. You have to be quiet and considerate of other residents at all times. It's not a place to bring guests over.

Hi from Indiana USA. My first bump at your video. Im an Asian Am senior who have been in the US for over half a century. But I have not forgotten my poor roots from RP. So this is like a blast in the past and memory lane walk for me, and I’ve enjoyed watching it so much. In fact I couldn’t stop laughing at both your quirky commentaries. When one is poor with a goal, there is no such thing as inconvenience. One does what it takes to get out of it to move up to a better standard of life. So very penny counts. This apartment has generous free amenities that can really pile up someone’s ability at saving. Thanks for this video. To some young people just starting out, youre doing critical public service to them which they could appreciate. Imagine if you are desperate at trying to find a place to live affordably in a big city where everything is so cost-prohibitive. A Godsend indeed.

Gosiwon was originally a place for people who came from the countryside to study in Seoul to take exams. This test is very difficult, so you will need to study most of the day. So, everyone stays quiet for those studying. The Gosi Examination refers to a high-level national examination, which was previously reserved for level 5 civil servants. If you pass this exam, you can become a high-ranking civil servant. There are three types of examinations: administration, judiciary, and foreign affairs. Even now, it is a Korean system that allows even poor people to become high-ranking public officials if they pass this exam.

$175 is about 250,000 won, which is very cheap even 10 years ago. Now, the prices in Korea are so high that I can't believe there is a $175.00 Gosiwon. I lived in a very affordable neighborhood outside of Seoul for about two months 10 years ago, and it cost about $200 at that time. Also, in certain areas of Busan or Seoul, the examination center itself is about the same price as the surrounding studio apartment because of tourists or test takers (people who go to the camp academy to take the national exam). It might be a little awkward because it's a translator, so please understand :)

@JL-zj2ov 6 ай бұрын

I've just watched the video again. The place where that gosiwon is located is similar to the area I visited 10 years ago. (The area is called Gyeonggi-do, surrounding Seoul.) The buildings and facilities are old, but I can feel that they are managed incredibly neatly, even if they weren't, $175 is a reasonable price, and it seems like a very good condition because the boss cares a lot about it.

Their family that owns the Goshiwon tries their best to provide a respectable way of living given what they have -- even providing free rice & kimchi (can be a meal already and save you from hunger if you realy don't have money left), wifi, laundry with free detergent, own personal mini ref and tv. You can just go to a library during the day to study or go to work, and still have a decent and safe shelter to come home to at night. When she said "Mom said we need to be like a hotel", i admired them coz they want to give a decent place to stay with the structure that they have.

*Not all go gosiwon are like this!!* Years ago before living in Korea I went there for a vacation, a long vacation… stayed for 2 months. Staying that long in hotels would just not be possible and I knew about gosiwon before I went. I had some help searching for and reserving a room from a Korean speaker. When I got there the pictures were deceiving, it was so dirty and you definitely don’t understand just how small it is until you get there. I stuck it out as I only stayed a month then stayed with a friend in busan, and used air bnb in Jeju and Seoul afterward. It really is just a place to sleep temporarily, it’s nice to see how well your friends family maintains theirs but as a kinda warning to any foreigners planning a vacation you really should visit the site beforehand if you’re looking to stay in a gosiwon.

This type of business is quite common around the world. Some will simply call them dormitory or room rentals. What surprises me the most is the lack of egress windows (in case of a fire) and the size. As in my jurisdiction a (bed) room can't be window less nor smaller than 81 sq ft. The lay out is very 2 dimensional, most places now rise the bed (4-5 ft of the ground) and offer a work desk and more storage underneath. By elevating the bed you end up adding almost 15-20sq ft and they could thicken the walls (insulation/soundproofing) without losing more living space.

@@jimmykimtvHi Jimmy! Thanks for making this video! I’d love to know where this is located to make a comparison. 저는 지금 사당동 Beaver House/비버하우스 고시원에 있어요. 사당동은 위치가 너무 좋은데 다른 곳도 알아보고 싶어요. NYC 에서 온 교포입니다. 나는 여기에 몇 달 동안 있어요.

In the United States these are called boarding houses or group homes and some of them rent rooms from $50 a month to $1,050 a month. Thanks for the neat video.

Small studio apartments are the most affordable, but you only get so much space that you always have to practice your surroundings before you really know the place firsthand.

Never heard of a goshiwon before (I'm in Canada). It's not so bad and very reasonably priced. At least the tenants are not homeless and out on the streets. The tour was very interesting and fun, and you both speak very good English! Good luck!

this tiny room was traditionally for country students who came to Seoul to study for the national exams like Bar Exam under a small budget. Nowadays, Gosiwon or tiny room is rented by foreign Laborers or tourists under a tight budget in addition to students for all kinds of big exams.

i wish they had these cheap basic rooms in the west. these probably keep a lot of people off the streets. if you're a student or a low earner on a tight budget, what more do you need? Though this set up could only work in places like Korea or Japan. These cheap rooms would attract nothing but trouble in America and other western countries.
