What people are saying
My bedroom is the closet in my son's 5-million-won-a-month New York rental apartment, about five pyeong.
I'm glad I'm short. Besides, I can't hear the train, and it's dark and warm.
Still, if we spend carefully, we'll manage somehow, and how wonderful that we have a tiny studio where I can see my son every day.
