Guide
Key points
- 1 pyeong ≈ 3.3058 m² (m² ÷ 3.3058 = pyeong).
- The m² figure in Korean listings is usually the exclusive area.
- "34-pyeong type" labels refer to supply area, which includes shared space.
What is a pyeong?
A pyeong (평) is a traditional unit of floor area still widely used in Korea when talking about apartments and offices. One pyeong is about 3.3058 m² (exactly 400/121 m²), so m² ÷ 3.3058 = pyeong and pyeong × 3.3058 = m². Official listings have used m² since 2007, but people still describe homes in pyeong.
Exclusive area vs. supply area
- Exclusive area (전용면적): the space inside your front door that only you use.
- Supply area (공급면적): exclusive area plus shared residential space such as stairs, hallways and elevators. The everyday “34-pyeong apartment” label is based on this.
- Contract area (계약면적): supply area plus other shared space such as underground parking.
Why is an 84 m² apartment called “34 pyeong”?
84 m² is the exclusive area, which is about 25.41 pyeong. Adding the shared space gives a supply area of roughly 110–115 m², or about 34 pyeong — hence “34-pyeong type”. Likewise a 59 m² unit (about 17.85 pyeong) is usually called a “24-pyeong type”. The shared-space ratio varies by complex, so check the official sales notice for exact figures.
FAQ
How is supply area calculated?
Exclusive area plus shared residential space such as stairs, hallways and elevators. The share varies by complex, so check the official sales notice.
Is the balcony included?
No. Balcony (service) area is excluded from exclusive, supply and contract area.
Why m² instead of pyeong?
Since July 2007 Korean law requires metric units in real-estate transactions and advertising, though people still speak in pyeong.
