My Home Tour! | Living Alone in Seoul (Costs, Deco, etc) 

Jessica's vlog isn't just a vlog. It's a cultural reset. the oxygen you breathe, It's a lifestyle, a reason to live and escape from this cruel world. It's art, the first gift you open on Christmas. A hug from a loved one & everything you’ve ever wanted.

What I love about most apartments I've seen in Seoul is that even though they're on the small side, the built in storage is amazing. I wish my home had so much smart storage!

Thanks for letting me 'in' into your condo unit tour. It's quite neat and just perfect for you (one person) but as you've said it's the noise that bothers you. As your place is located near the road, also hospitals around your building, there will be a lot of cars, ambulances and motorcycles passing. Well, you may use ear muffs, esp. when sleeping, though it would be uncomfortable. Another solution is for you to make your bedroom sound-proof but might be hard due to its layout unless it's enclosed as a room w/ a door. For now, you just need to get used to to the noise.

You definitely have a talent for interior decorating. Such a nice, lovely and cozy unit. Too bad for the issue with the noise. I myself have moved from several different condos/houses, and it's really hard to find the perfect place. There's always a compromise somewhere.

Your room is such a vibe, calm, and aesthetic. What a room.

"Hey guys it's Jessica here" The iconic intro 💕💙💕🥰

OMG! i really missed Korea so much 😢 i tried 4 airbnb accommodations during my 8Days-9Nights vacation in Seoul last 2018 - 2 nights in a guesthouse in Myeongdong (very homey feels with guests of diff races) - 2 nights in an apartment in Gangnam (feeling rich yayamanin gangnam style) 🤣 - 2 nights in a guesthouse in Itaewon (although natulog talaga ako sa sauna on the 1st night) - 3 nights in a studio in Hoehyeondong (just minutes walk to Namsan Tower) I intentionally planned to have different accommodations so that I can compare, at the same time have an idea of a Korean home...plus it's really cheap that way (airbnb hacks) 👌 All the houses/apartments were really nice and cozy 😍 Amazeballs 🤞🤞 your loft type studio is really nice compared to what i'm staying with here in Dubai 😂 i'll definitely go back to Korea now that i'm learning Hangul 😊🙏

The wood finishes in this minimalistic grey/white/neutral space is an aesthetic I truly vibe with.

Pancit Canton will always be "precious" and top-tier.

At first I was wondering why her snacks and condiments are most Filipino used in daily meanwhile most korean I watched in YT has different variation of snacks that mostly Korean would stocks. And I was shookt when she speak Tagalog. Girl you are now my favorite aesthetic vlogger.

This is one of the issues I encountered first time I moved out from my parents house. I did not thought about the noise. I only consider how the apartment look and how close it is from my work. there's few things that you will pick up when renting a house, you would know what you wanted and what you do not want the next time you will move. There are things that you think you don't need but ending up needing it either way. And that's how your adult life begins. Experiences. 😂

Very nice layout, I want one for myself. This is even bigger than our Condo in QC! Good choice except for the noise, but you'll get used to it though. We had a condo in New Orleans really close to the streetcar route and in the corner of two major Roadways, just like what you have, we hear gunshots, ambulance sirens, trucks cars, streetcars like "The Street Car Named Desire" type of streetcar. The good thing is after a while you'll get used to it and you'll eventually learn to tune it out. You'd actually miss it if you moved to some other place. You're quite well organized. I wish I can be like that. My office is like a hurricane-devastated place, I know where everything is though.

i like the house!! I’m fine to this house kasi minimalist lang then yung size is ok lang talaga for one/two people. And grabe yung spacious sa mga cabinet. Ang ganda lang tingnan talaga!

pretty vlogger, pretty place and as always cute expressions of Ms. Jessica Lee, you're an inspiration po, thanks for always showing your love for the Philippines through your stuff and your food in your own home, take care and God Bless po - Krish from the Philippines

your house is so pretty😍 I wish Malaysia has this kind of house for a one person to rent. One thing I like about South Korea (and maybe other countries too) is that they have houses that is suitable for a one person or two person to rent and the condition of the house is good, clean, fully or partially furnished and has built-in storage. Meanwhile, in Malaysia, we have to share with other housemates or even roommates and mostly the condition of the furniture are bad already, but for the sake of cheap monthly fee. There might be a nice house or studio with good condition furniture but the monthly fee would be expensive.

yay, it was nice to see your apartment come to shape. i was wondering, how many appliances already came with the apartment? In my place here in Japan, it didn't come with any. So i had to buy my own stove, fridge, and washing machine (with out a dryer). It seems its common in Korea to especially have a washing machine already with the apartment. I am not sure just my observation from what i have seen from people who live in Korea. In Japan, occasionally the stove is already attached to the kitchen.

Your videos really heals me and makes me calm. Whenever I watch your videos, I can really see how passionate you are in vlogging. Thank you for existing, Unnie!

HAHAHA sports car = disaster happening 😂😂🤍🤍

Noisy places...I understand... If you want very convenient transportation, the house will be very noisy. When I lived around Sadang station in Seoul, the place was very noisy. Now I live in Bucheon, this place is very quiet. I had searched for a year looking for quiet place around seoul, and I decided to lived in Yangpyeong(양평군) that place was too quiet and lonely. I recommend you to consider Bucheon city of your ground. Some years ago, (영어로 쓸려니 힘드네요) 서울 봉천동에 살았는데 꽤 시끄러웠어요. 지금은 부천시 역곡역 근처에 살고 있는데 꽤 교통 편리하고 나름 서울보다는 조용하고 산책코스도 좋아요. '까치울역' 근처도 교통이 나름 편리하면서 공기도 좋고 조용하고 집값도 조금 저렴할 거예요. 광명시는 너무 복잡하고 번잡하고, 인천도 좀 그런 면이 있어요. 김포시도 괜찮은데 조금 먼 느낌이 있고, 부천시는 구로구 바로 옆동네라 서울과 교통이 편리해요. 차 주차하기도 상대적으로 편하고, 시골 느낌이 나는 주변 지역이 있어서 산책하기도 좋아요. 지금도 사당동 살던 십 수년 전을 생각해보면 어떻게 그런 시끄러운 곳에서 살았는지....ㅎㅎ 제가 사운드 엔지니어라 저만 소리에 예민한 줄 알았는데 아니더라구요. ㅎㅎ 시끄러운 소리 좋아하는 사람 없는 것 같아요.

Also for the noise, I think you could fix that if you add some cheap acoustic foams on windows or the walls. Its not always going to look good but I think you can pull an art attack on it, or just buy designed ones. It may even make your walls or windows look better 🙂

Omg, I love this kind of content. Hoping you could start a living alone series? I also want to move out and have my own space here in the Philippines. But I think there’s soooo much to prepare and to consider. So watching this kind of vlogs really really motivates me to go for what I want to do. Also, team kahoy here! Haha your bedroom and plant area is lovely 💖

Jessica being so clear and concise for small place, makes it seem large. Also didn't know she was only 170cm. She looks taller in her videos, must be camera angle..

I just love how you love Philippines, the pleasure is ours. ❤️ Don’t know if you already experience to live in the province here in Philippines, but it’s way more beautiful compared to living in Manila. Maybe you will discover 85% of Filipino culture and hopefully you will love it.

Hi Jessica! Hope to see youn soon. Stay safe always. In your future vlogs, please collab with SylMoy. Maybe all of you can play Larong Pinoy like piko, tumbang lata, alabado, etc. Because you tried Filipino foods, maybe you can also try those larong pinoy. I don't know if you tried those things when you were here in the Philippines. HAHAHAHA I miss those days when I'm still a kid that is why I suggested it. Char lang. Kahit ano namang content mo, I still watch it because you're such a good person and I enjoy your videos. God bless 🙂

Another feel good video from Jessica 🥺 whenever I watch her videos whatever content it may be I always feel so relaxed (maybe because of her voice and neutral accent?) and even though she speaks the English language, I feel like she's talking to me in Tagalog/Filipino language. That's why I'm also happy she have a Podcast now! Yiiieeeee 😄

Hi Unnie! (a.k.a ate jessica) i would like to say that you should do handwash, because using washing machine can stretch your clothes, well using washing machine is kinda not you know a lot of work to do just to wash your clothes, but if you can do handwash, then i think you would try, us filipinos doesn't use really washing machine, because it can stretch clothings, but some of us use, it's more nice and you would have an enjoynment of doing the handwash, hahhaha just wanted to say because i don't want your clothes to stretch, since your outfit's are nice! :) YOUR HOUSE IS REALLY NICE!

Nice cosy house you have got in there. Me and my mama are planning to build a Korean loft style house in our family ancestral compound and she really want those houses in K dramas that she just wants it spacious with her own storage room just for her many many stuffs and 3 storey loft style house cos the 3rd floor will be like the laundry area and plant area. Any idea for a house design please thanks.💜

Watched this vlog with no skip. Your channel is a gem to a young adult who yearns independence and living the life they just love. Looking forward to see more of your daily vlogs ❤❤❤🇵🇭

So proud of your achievement Ate Jessica, you are always an inspiration.

She's living alone at the age of 20. She's smart and independent woman. Sana all😁 love you jessica!😘

Hahah I'm glad I'm not the only one who cannot deal with the noise from the motorcycles/sports cars! I used to live near the river valley in my city (very beautiful view and very convenient location!) but I also had to move because I couldn't stand the motorcycles & sports cars. It felt like there was going to be an earthquake or something every time one of those would pass by, and they liked to go drag racing in the middle of the night too D:

wow apartments in korea are so practical and innovative! i wish they had these kind of apartments in the west. love the natural vibe with the plants and furniture btw. (owo )

I love that ate Jessica has names for the plants. Such a great soul ❤

Ang taray ng bedroom!! Love it!! Ang cozy. Perfect for reading-till-3am and lamaw mode 👏👏👏

*Bro if I had that same dining area as that of urs with a beautiful sunset view to be enjoyed , my studies would have been a lot easier coz I would simply sit by the table there , enjoying sips of coffee ☕ completing all my tasks easily staring at the tiny cars passing by the road with that beautiful sunset vibe* ✨💫🌇 *I really really wish to visit Seoul some day , hope I ll be able to , InshaAllah* 🤲❤️ *Anyways , love from India* 🇮🇳

Jessica's vlog is really relaxing. I visit and watch your videos when I'm stressed and tired to refresh myself. It is soothing and relaxing. Keep it up! ❤️

Wow! That building was really built with functionality in mind. And Jessica made it a home in a snap! Naol

Actually any mint does not like direct sun at all or just a bit. Try snipping the tops down to the next set of leaflets and it will bush out. Do this regularly. Soil must be kept moist.

Hi, Jessica. You really made me smile when I saw the Pinoy foods and condiments that you have in your pantry. As a Filipina, I find that very easy to relate to. Thanks for doing this video, what a cool house tour. 😊

I also wanna experience living alone with this kind of house just for about a couple of years❤️❤️

Heart, soul, peace, & Spirit 🪴🌱 Such a unique way of naming your plants.

I really love how aesthetic this is Miss Jessica. This is like my dream house to be. A small space but more on woods. Thank you for showing this to us 🥰🤎

Really really like your homes theme and style! Thank you for touring us Ate Jessica! We definitely have the same styles.

HI Miss Jessica! I really really love your new house. It's very accomodating, so minimalistic and aesthetic at the same time. I love your style. So clean! Always keep safe! Sending love from the Philippines ❤

This house is one of styles that I love and I want to have, someday. Gandaaaaa!!🤍

5:55 | I workout a lot here at home but I never bought or tasted a protein shake. I hope I can buy one soon.

Idk if this is possible but as far as I remember, in exchange of direct sunlight for plants, you can use artificial light, a light bulb with yellowish color (idk how to call that haha) and directly turn the them on to the plants. It serves as sunlight but in a different way? I just remember that It'll help the plants grow. 😅

Always love your editing so calming

Love how cozy your home is. And the built-in storage is 👌

All the korean apartment i see has a lot of storage which is really smart. It looks big for a 21sqm room. I used to live in an apartment beside main hiway (C5). I got used to the noise and was able to sleep continuously.

Some rubber backed/block out curtains will fix the noise I am sure they sell them there.Failing that some window tint will do the same as it is usually 1.5 to 2mm thick and that will also block out the bad UVA and UVB rays .

I love your house!! It's neat, pretty and your plant babies 😭🥺💖

Sending you hugs and love from the Philippines. I just finished listening to your first podcast and I enjoyed it. It's so relaxing to listen to your calm voice. Thank you so much for launching Podcast Dew. 💖💖💖💖💖

you can buy an led grow light if you're worried about your apple mint not growing well. or maybe you can find something like an aerogarden (small hydroponic set up for the home) for growing herbs and stuff.

Nice, if you can customize the mezzanine area or bedroom, maybe you can soundproof the area but i think you need to put a wall and door or you can use earplugs if it gets too noisy.

This what I waited 🥳hshshshs thank you for making this video!❣️ We love you ate Jessica!

Ang havey naman ng house mo mamsh, ingat ka lagi ate.

Wow it's not expensive considering it's in Seoul. And it's new and fully furnished. You got a lucky good deal. The only thing I find hazardous is the loaf since it fails to meet the height safety requirements. I guess 6 footers will eventually crawl, kinda weird.

i don't know what i like about you. I JUST LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT.. I HONESTLY LOVE THE WAY YOU ARE AND WHO YOU ARE. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU ❤️❤️

Jess: "These are the most precious stuff here Pancit canton!" Hahahha so cute💓💙💓

Awww loved this. And your apt is so beautiful. 💕

I am always, always watching videos of Korean house tour or apartment tour and this video of yours reminded me of my goal to go to Korea to work. Hopefully by early next year, everything will be okay.

There are red/blue/purple grow lights available for indoor plants. You should get one especially for your apple mint plant. Hope this helps.

I've been waiting for this !!Thank you Jess.💗💓💙💓💗 labyu Jess

love your place!!! so cozy & aesthetic 😍 we need to have another girls’ night there hehehe ❤️❤️❤️

Just finished watching the video. I thought this video would end very serious but it made me laugh when you talked about the noises you hear especially the noise of the sports car. "Like Woah" HAHAHA. More #JesSylMoy collaboration please 🙏 'cause I'm missin' seeing you three altogether. Lovelots🇵🇭❤🇰🇷

Love it! As you've mentioned the one thing that u don't like is the noise. I'm jst wondering if that building has more floors upstairs so that u can move to somehow lessen the noise if you move to a higher floor. 🙂

I love how you decorate your house from cabinets to plants and all. Such cozy and peace-of-mind vibe *except the noise* 😊

Can I ask what song is used in the intro. I really can't find it. 09:00 - 21:00

yehey, so happy for you ate Jessica to be able to live in your new condo. Next vlog that I want to recommend is cook gulaman with ate sylvia. Love you. And please do shout me if ever that you see this comment.

If you are in Philippines,, especially in Batangas City 430,000 pesos meron kana 100sqm na lupa,,dito sa katabing bahay ko,, 300k house and lot na 100sqm yung lupa,, kaya mas masarap pa din sa PINAS mag retired..

All right, Jessica rlly proved that she is proud of PH😂 She really treasures the country as well as Korea. Thats what makes her amazing.

Ate Jessica's vlog is so aesthetic and I want to have a room like that it's small but it's just perfect for one or two person♡♡

I really like your house. its nice, clean, cozy, very minimalistic and I really like how you decorated it.

I wish Oliver Austria react to this house tour of jessica, I wanna learn more stuff about house materials XD

Ate Jessica's house shows that she really live in the Philippine for many Years because some spices are now filipino Brands you usually wont see in other people who live shortly in the Philippines

Can I know where did you get the laptop stand thing? My table is really small too, and I keep hunching cause the table is pretty low 😅, and I would really like to use something like that stand for better comfort and posture. I really love you video btw 🥰

You can try to put some sound tampering curtains so that it can help lessen the noise outside. ^_^

Jessica's house is so cute even though it is only have a limited space but doesn't produce an inconvenience for her but what Jessica Lee said the noise comes from vehicles can heard inside on their house.😅🙂

Anybody know what camera she's using?

Hiii, sorry if it is rude, but can you tell me the name of the music you used on the begining?(idk if its correct) And the video was awesome🥰🥰🥰

From all the foods that Jessy have, the pancit canton is the memorable one. I think pancit canton is very rare in Korea. So if you happen to buy pancit canton in every city in Korea, then you're a luck one.

I really admire u ate, the way u talk, move, think etc., is so matured, I mean Sana all🙂

as someone who has lived in a loft type apartment, i do agree that loft stairs do really tend to be narrow or small that it's scary 😭 but i got used to it in the end and now i miss it :(

Every vlog of you was really amazing ❤️❤️ especially when you vlog about the Philippines we really appreciate it so thank you ❤️❤️ for now situation I just want to send a warmth hug and plsss always keep safe hope to meet you in person and yeahhhh babyeee always keep safe 😘😘😘

Maybe you can install a thick curtain and window insulation so that you wouldn't hear so much noise from the outside... 😚

Hi Jessica i really love your place is quite cozy and minimalistic. By the way you need to plant your mint in a bigger pot so it will grow fast. Small pot is not good for mint. ☺️

I wanna know if Jessica nunna is a minimalist like me 😄 . Good taste and aesthetic appreciation. Wooden, white walls and some green plant are really pretty combos. I wanna live with such kind of home also.

my eyes were shocked when i knew the price, it just that the problem aside from noise outside is the short span of sun for her mint plant. i think after the 10 months, another hunting for house rent, decorating with her sister and room tour.

I love your studio loft room Jessica..specially you've got 2 windows but peaceful night is a big factor to consider unless your ear got used to noisy ambulance or sportscar but for sure difficult to ignore😅😅 i suggest play music in your room like spa soothing nature breeze sort of music will eliminate outside noise or jive instrumental.

Hi Jessica! You should get a grow light for your plants so they'll get the light that they need to thrive 💚

Yes yes🥺 I could understand how you feel at night po...my room is just beside the road too and you will always get surprised if some cars horned or sports car are running so fast at 2am...ugh! Can't wait to go home in our province in christmas for vacation😊 There I can be more comfortable at night

its Convenient and i Like the Storage area, The cost is like When you rent Condominium here in Ph, But i like the interior of koreans!

7:56 Wow! That book is Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere, translated in Korean language. I am planning to buy one actually. Nice!

Maybe you can try and use some thicker fabric for curtains to diffuse street noises 😊 warm and cozy home you got there Jessica!

I hope to live in a house like this one day. I like this type of house, small and simple. If I come to Korea, I will rent such a house.💜🌻

We have the same issue with our apartment though the location is good but the noise of the cars it really sucks especially the 3 cars u mention, i am really piss off by it especially i am working from home as a callcenter agent at night wow the motorbike, sports car and ambulance. I thought it would literally only in the philippines but i guess you there too.

Wahhhh Ate Jessica I am always amazed with your vlogs. So calm and sooo aesthetic. I was very relaxed and motivated while watching your video for today. Btw, sana ol sports car yung dumadaan, sa pinas ang pinaka maingay for me is yung truck ng basura ahhahahahahha. Goodnight pooo

Wow your are fluent to speak english that's one most I observe aside your house is beautiful 🥰🎉💐
