FAQ

How big is one pyeong?

Exactly 400/121 m², which is about 3.305785 m². One square metre is 121/400 of a pyeong, or 0.3025 pyeong.

Why 400/121?

One pyeong is 6 Korean cheok by 6 cheok and one cheok is defined as 10/33 m, so (6 × 10/33)² = 400/121 m². That is the factor listed in the table of the Enforcement Decree of the Measurement Act.

How many pyeong is 84 m²?

84 m² ÷ (400/121) = 25.41 pyeong. The 34-pyeong figure used in apartment sales is based on supply area, which adds shared space to the 84 m² exclusive area.

Which area do apartment pyeong figures use?

By convention pyeong is quoted from the exclusive area, but headline numbers such as the 34-pyeong type usually come from the supply area, so check both in the contract.

Should I use m² or pyeong?

The legal unit of area in Korea is the square metre. Contracts, property registers and building ledgers all use m², so treat pyeong as a reference figure only.
