They discuss why having roommates is more common in the US compared to Korea, where most unmarried adults either live alone or with their parents.

They also share their personal experiences with living at home, alone, or with roommates throughout their lives.If you’re interested in learning about Korean college dorm living, why 30-40% of young American adults have roommates but only 5% of Koreans do, how apartment sizes and financial factors affect living arrangements, or why Daniel believes communal living creates more meaningful experiences, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more!
