Pyeong conversion formulas

The pyeong is a traditional East Asian unit equal to a square 6 cheok (about 1.818 m) on each side. If you are renting or buying in South Korea, check whether a listing's size is exclusive area (전용면적) or supply area (공급면적), since the supply figure is noticeably larger.

Frequently asked questions

How big is one pyeong?

One pyeong (평) is exactly 400/121 square meters, about 3.3058 m² or 35.58 square feet. One square meter is about 0.3025 pyeong.

Is a "32-pyeong" apartment 32 pyeong of living space?

Usually not. Sizes quoted in pyeong in South Korea typically refer to supply area, which includes shared spaces such as hallways and stairs. A unit with 84 m² of exclusive (private) area, about 25.4 pyeong, is commonly called a 32 to 34 pyeong apartment.

Why do listings show m² instead of pyeong?

South Korea made the square meter the official unit for real estate in 2007, so formal listings and contracts use m², but people still talk about apartments in pyeong.
