In 21st-century Seoul, few would truly call living without any real furniture a \"living\" experience. \u003cbr\u003eAt that time, he would have been sitting on a used chair he had bought during a business trip to Switzerland, his laptop resting on his lap (or was it a delivery box?), and planning his furniture setup in between finishing his manuscript.\u003cbr\u003e A place would become a home if it had a bed, a closet, and most importantly, a bookshelf (so I could stop unpacking things from boxes).\u003cbr\u003e Why on earth?

According to \"A 15-Pyeong Maze,\" the prologue to \"A House in Seoul\"...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author purchased a unit in an old apartment building that was nearly 50 years old seven years ago.\u003cbr\u003e It was the oldest apartment complex in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, and was located on the top floor of a building without an elevator.\u003cbr\u003e It was not renovated to meet today's housing standards, and so it was cheap.\u003cbr\u003e He poured all the resources he had at the time into that house. \u003cbr\u003eAt the time, everyone around him tried to dissuade him from making this decision.\u003cbr\u003e He didn't care.\u003cbr\u003e Because there was a reason.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The main materials and props used to renovate this house came from several countries.\u003cbr\u003e The switches, lights and sink are Swiss.\u003cbr\u003e The toilet is Japanese, the second sink is German, the floor is Italian, and the tiles are Italian, Japanese, and Turkish.\u003cbr\u003e He searched for those materials for a long time.\u003cbr\u003e He was not well off and still is.\u003cbr\u003e So most of the items he collected were bad inventory.\u003cbr\u003e The sink, tiles, and toilet are over 30 years old.\u003cbr\u003e Marudo is over 10 years old.\u003cbr\u003e After collecting them all, he managed to fix up an old house in Seoul.\u003cbr\u003e He started out thinking he knew a little about home repairs, but once he finished, he realized he didn't even know what he didn't know.\u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, the house has been built for over 50 years, and the world has gone through COVID-19 and entered the second era of AI and Trump.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen I was renovating this house, the reactions of the people around me were similar.\u003cbr\u003e Why is that?\u003cbr\u003e Why do you do that?\u003cbr\u003e Now he can answer in a wide variety of ways, depending on who is asking and with what intention.\u003cbr\u003e In a word, he wanted to know.\u003cbr\u003e If you make it longer, it's like this.\u003cbr\u003e What does it take for an individual with limited resources and talents to achieve the goal of living a decent life in Seoul?\u003cbr\u003e How much can he spend, who can he meet, what can he create, what does his 00,000 won home repair budget consist of, how much can he save within it, where can he splurge, what can he implement, and how can he get what he wants, and before that, what is the 'reasonable life' he wants?\u003cbr\u003e This book is a longer answer.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePreview\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003eindex\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Prologue - A 15-pyeong maze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart 1.\u003cbr\u003e thought\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1. \u003cbr\u003eFrozen Laundry 2.\u003cbr\u003e 3.

Maze\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I had no desire to live in a large officetel or apartment, which is like a fortress in modern society.\u003cbr\u003e I know that the facility is good.\u003cbr\u003e However, as convenient and safe as the facility was, I felt that it was hiding some part of the real world from me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- 「2.\u003cbr\u003e From \"From Dawn to Contract\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I was a magazine editor in the late 2010s, the world I saw was like a hotel lounge on the brink of a recession.\u003cbr\u003e Outside the hotel, the crowds were thinning and the lights were dimming, but inside, everyone still had businesslike smiles and it felt like everyone was sharing free champagne that had fallen from the sky. \u003cbr\u003eEveryone was shivering into the increasingly cramped lounge, but they couldn't give up the champagne, and I felt like I was part of that crowd.\u003cbr\u003e I know it's a distorted view, but at that time, I wanted to break away from that flow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- 「2.\u003cbr\u003e From \"From Dawn to Contract\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the editorial world where I work, or in the broader cultural industry, there are many people who say they are deeply interested in so-called urban culture.\u003cbr\u003e Since they are interested in culture, they have their own preferences and directions, and while they say that diversity is important, their thoughts strangely converge in similar directions.\u003cbr\u003e This should be like this and that should be like that, I like old places and history is precious.\u003cbr\u003e --- 「3.\u003cbr\u003e From “The Cases of Life”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If it was completed in 1971, it is a house built in the same year as Banpo Public Housing.\u003cbr\u003e Just like 'Howl's Moving Castle', this house was old on the outside but sturdy on the inside.\u003cbr\u003e I wanted to live in a place like this.\u003cbr\u003e In an old and sturdy place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- 「3. \u003cbr\u003eFrom “The Cases of Life”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I think there are countless people like former class presidents across the country who are saved in someone's phone book as 'Class President XX'.\u003cbr\u003e Because there is nothing that these class leaders cannot do when it comes to home repairs.\u003cbr\u003e Everyone needs a class president like that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- 「5.\u003cbr\u003e From \"Rat droppings that fell on the former class president\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Something is starting

is, and the more I thought about it, the more I came to the conclusion that good things don't always have to be expensive.\u003cbr\u003e After going through the hassle, I was able to obtain good quality items within my means.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- 「13.\u003cbr\u003e From \"Giorgio Armani of the 00s in the tile world\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThere is a saying in our industry that 'deadlines are deadlines.'\u003cbr\u003e It's a bit embarrassing to say this passively, but when you actually do something, this is often true.\u003cbr\u003e The more I finish various deadlines, the more I feel like it's more like, \"Oh, the deadline is over,\" rather than, \"I finished the deadline.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- 「15.\u003cbr\u003e From \"Home Repair Experts Who Look Like Cat Buses\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Architecture is the desire to build something beautiful rather than just build it from the beginning.” This is how Kim Tae-su described Sakara’s architecture.\u003cbr\u003e Hearing those words, I was reminded of my old scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- 「16.\u003cbr\u003e From “Beauty and Instinct”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Of course, wood grain or taka marks are not evil.\u003cbr\u003e Not all sites need to be like that.\u003cbr\u003e However, when I found a Taka mark in a place that was quite stylish, I started to laugh a little.\u003cbr\u003e It's like they're showing off by leaving taka marks all over the place...? \u003cbr\u003eI have a prejudice against Korean hipsters that doesn't go away even after time passes and I meet them in person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- 「17.\u003cbr\u003e From \"It can't always be good\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There were no tiles.\u003cbr\u003e Their explanation was this:\u003cbr\u003e While cleaning out the warehouse, all of the bad inventory was disposed of.\u003cbr\u003e Among them are the tiles I bought.\u003cbr\u003e The sky seemed to be tiled and the tiles

key and locked the door with the new lock I bought.\u003cbr\u003e As you climb the old stairs and reach the front of the house, there is a nondescript door on the old floor, only the lock hole is new.\u003cbr\u003e Turning the key there opens a completely new space, but one that doesn't look all that new.\u003cbr\u003e It felt like a small, simple dream had come

post office delivery boxes, there were some that I had picked up from the studio apartment where I lived, so I used a box with the name of Jeong Eun-ji, whom I had never met, on it for several years.\u003cbr\u003e It was a few years where I lived indifferently to some part of my life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- 「20.\u003cbr\u003e From \"The Day I Moved In\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e
