Just arrived in Korea and don’t know what to buy first for your empty dorm or studio? 😢

🔌 First priority: Multi-tap for your shopping basket

Dorms and studios in Korea often have inconveniently placed outlets, making it hard to charge your laptop and phone at the same time.

In such cases, multi-tap is the most practical solution.

1. A 2- or 3-outlet multi-tap is a must-have.

2. A grounded switch multi-tap 2 ports 1.5m is 5,000 won.

3. A grounded multi plug 3 ports 1.5m is also 5,000 won.

👉 Start with this and you won’t have to worry about charging your devices!

📁 File case to organize all your complex documents at once

International students often have to carry many papers like a copy of their Alien Registration Card, passport, certificate of enrollment, etc., so you’re always worried about losing something.

Keep everything together and safe with a file case for document storage!

1. Transparent file case with handle is 2,000 won.

2. You can also get an 8-pocket snap section file, perfect for separating documents, for 2,000 won.

👉 Neatly organize important documents so your life in Korea feels much more secure!

🥤 The best cost-saver for food and drinks: affordable tumbler

You may be surprised how much you spend by buying drinks daily at campus cafes or library vending machines.

Bringing a tumbler or thermos can save you a lot on your meal budget.

1. Strap stainless tumbler 300ml is 3,000 won.

2. Bottle-shaped stainless tumbler 350ml is available for 5,000 won.

👉 Carry one daily to enjoy both refreshing water on the go and save money!

🧳 Smart storage items for making even small rooms spacious

Your studio or dorm may feel cramped and you can’t use nails on the walls, right?

With just adhesive hooks and vacuum bags, your space will magically expand!

1. Clear adhesive sheet hooks for hanging bags or umbrellas (set of 3) cost 1,000 won.

2. For bulky winter coats and blankets, try valve-type vacuum bags (2,000 won) to shrink them down.

👉 Becoming a space-utilizing master of your room is only a matter of time!
