Motels
Motels fill every city (시; shi) and town (읍; eub) on the peninsula. At night, look towards any bar or club hotspot. You’ll spot towering motels draped in flickering lights.
Popularity
Why are motels so popular? Korea is small and packed. About the size of Indiana, with eight times the population.
Real estate prices are some of the world’s richest. Many young people live in their parents’ apartment. So industries sprang up to accommodate lovebirds with private spaces. Coffee shops. Board room cafes with enclosed living room setups. And yes, motels.
