Season, humidity, drafts
Experiencing heat, rainy season, daily temperature fluctuations, and condensation for the first time
I am experiencing Korea's four seasons for the first time. I measure with a thermometer and hygrometer and respond according to the cause.
Cold wind comes in through the window cracks in winter.
The wind coming through the window cracks in Korean winters is biting. If I attach a layer of bubble wrap, the cold air leaking through the window is visibly reduced, and the room feels less chilly even before turning on the heating.
If you lightly spray water and stick it on, it will adhere without adhesive. If you remove it in the spring, it won't leave any marks.

I wake up to the morning sunlight, and cold air is coming in through the window.
In a studio with floor-to-ceiling windows, you wake up early to the morning sunlight, and in winter, cold air comes in through the window. If you close the insulating blackout curtains, you can block the light to sleep in and suppress the cold air near the window.

The room and closet are damp and smelly during the rainy season.
During the rainy season in Korea, rooms and closets become damp, causing mold and musty odors to rise. If you place dehumidifiers in every corner, water rises and sucks in the damp air.
Even just opening the windows on a clear day and ventilating with a cross breeze for 30 minutes significantly reduces humidity. It is the first free method.

- ✓If you place it in the closet or shoe cabinet, the damp smell will go away.

My feet are cold because the winter ground is cold.
If you turn off the heating, the floor in Korea quickly turns into a sheet of ice in the winter. Laying down a rug eliminates the cold that touches your bare feet and makes the room look much cozier.
In-room Plain Soft Rug
- ✓The floor isn't cold even if you step on it barefoot.
- ✓It doesn't slide because the bottom is non-slip.
- ✓Roll it up and put it in the washing machine to wash.
I'm afraid of the heating costs, so it's a burden to heat the whole room.
If you heat the entire room, the utility bills in Korea during the winter come out terrifyingly high. If you use an electric mat, it only warms the areas your body touches, keeping the inside of the blanket warm until morning.

The commute to and from work and school is too cold.
The outside air in Korean winter is biting. If you attach a stick-on hot pack to the inside of your clothes, your lower back will stay warm throughout your commute to and from school or work.

- ✓Once you apply it, it stays warm for half a day.
- ✓It's thin, so it's not noticeable even when attached under clothes.

My shoulders feel cold when I study at home.
When I sit at my desk for a long time, my shoulders start to get cold. If I wrap a buttoned blanket around my shoulders, my hands are free whether I am studying or watching Netflix.

- ✓It is secured around the shoulder with snap buttons.
- ✓It's so soft, it's perfect as a lap blanket.
- ✓It's lightweight, so you can carry it anywhere—on the sofa, bed, or desk.
Bugs come in through the torn window screen in the summer.
In the summer, even a slight tear in the window screen allows mosquitoes to enter. If you apply repair tape over the hole, you can seal it in 5 minutes without calling the landlord.
