Something I'm experiencing for the first time in Korea
Fine dust, the rainy season, and a sedentary lifestyle — First experiences of living in Korea that I never had in my home country
From masks, mini air purifiers, three-fold umbrellas, water purifiers, floor chairs, to slippers for noise reduction—I have gathered the things you need for the first time after coming to Korea.
Every spring, I keep receiving text messages saying the fine dust and yellow dust levels are 'bad'.
In Korea, text messages reporting 'bad' air quality due to fine dust and yellow dust continue for days. Since individual packs are expensive at convenience stores, I stock up on 100 packs in advance and grab one each time I go out.

The air in the room feels stuffy on days with heavy fine dust.
On days with severe fine dust, I can't even open the window, so the air in the room feels stuffy. A mini air purifier for a studio apartment quietly circulates the air in the small room.

I often get caught in sudden showers during the rainy season.
Korean summers are characterized by frequent monsoon rains and showers, and the sun is scorching. With a 3-fold automatic umbrella that fits in your bag, you can use it as an umbrella when it rains and as a parasol when it is hot.

It feels strange to drink tap water straight.
Korean tap water is safe to drink, but if you are unfamiliar with drinking it straight, it is a hassle to carry around bottled water. If you pour tap water into a filter water purifier, you can drink the filtered water immediately.

My back hurts from sleeping on the floor without a bed.
Sitting on the floor without a bed makes my back ache. A floor chair with a backrest provides perfect back support when studying or eating on the floor.

- ✓The backrest supports your lower back, so it is comfortable even when sitting for a long time.
- ✓It is also great for leaning back and relaxing.
- ✓Fold it and stand it up when not in use.
I'm bothered by the noise from the downstairs neighbor.
Korean villas and apartments are sensitive to footsteps. Wearing cushioned slippers dampens the sound of footsteps, so you are less conscious of the downstairs neighbors and your feet won't get cold on the cold floor.

- ✓It's warmer than bare feet, so the winter floor is fine.
