How much does WiFi cost in Korea?

Okay, so you’re wondering about WiFi costs in Korea, huh? It’s a good question! From what I remember, it’s not too bad, but it definitely depends on what you’re looking for.

Basically, you’re probably looking at somewhere around ₩25,500 to ₩30,000 a month before that pesky VAT gets added on. That’s, like, your basic plan. And of course, you know how it goes – the faster you want your internet to be, and the longer you’re willing to sign a contract for, the more it’s gonna cost. Makes sense, right?

I remember my friend Ji-Hoon complaining about this when he first moved into his apartment. He went for the cheapest plan initially, and then was constantly buffering when he tried to stream K-dramas. Ended up upgrading, naturally! facepalm

Oh, and don’t forget the modem and router! They usually charge you extra to rent those things. Seriously, who even buys their own anymore? (Okay, maybe some people do… but still!) So yeah, keep that rental fee in mind when you’re budgeting.

Honestly, the best thing to do is just compare the different providers and see what kind of deals they’re offering. It can get a little confusing with all the different plans and packages, I know! Good luck navigating all that, though! Hope this helps a bit!
