Hasukjib

Typically, hasukjib take the form of a small room with a single bed, desk and a mini fridge.

[citation needed] The rent varies by the size of the rooms and quality of the facilities, but it's generally considered cheap and affordable.

Hasukjib are often compared to gosiwon (고시원; also called goshitel 고시텔), a similar form of single-room housing in Korea.

[5] Hasukjib are similar to goshiwon (Korean: 고시원) which is another type of housing in South Korea that they are often compared to.

Lee Seok-jae, a director at the National Institute for International Education Development, also stated that one of the other complaints is "the difficulty finding hasukjib that will accept foreigners".
