Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Pyeong?
Pyeong (평) is a traditional Korean unit of area measurement. 1 Pyeong = 3.30579 square meters (㎡). It is widely used in Korean real estate despite the official metric system.
How do I convert Pyeong to square meters?
Multiply the Pyeong value by 3.30579. Example: 30 Pyeong × 3.30579 = 99.17 ㎡.
What is the difference between exclusive area and supply area?
Exclusive area (전용면적) is the actual livable space inside the unit. Supply area (공급면적) includes shared spaces like hallways and stairs. Exclusive area is typically 70-85% of the supply area.
What size is a typical Korean apartment?
Common apartment sizes in Korea: 24 pyeong (79㎡) for small families, 32 pyeong (106㎡) for mid-size, and 40+ pyeong (132㎡+) for larger families. The '국민평수' (national standard) is often considered to be around 32-34 pyeong.

How It Works
The core conversion factor is: 1 pyeong (평) = 3.3058 m² (square meters). This derives from the traditional Japanese tsubo measurement, where 1 tsubo = 6 shaku × 6 shaku, and 1 shaku ≈ 0.3030 m, so 1 tsubo = (6 × 0.3030)² ≈ 3.3058 m².
For other area conversions: 1 m² = 10.7639 ft², 1 acre = 4,046.86 m², 1 hectare = 10,000 m², and 1 km² = 1,000,000 m². To convert between any two units, the calculator first converts the input to square meters (the base unit), then converts from square meters to the target unit.
Note: Although South Korea officially adopted the metric system and the use of pyeong in commercial real estate listings was banned in 2007, pyeong remains the most commonly understood unit in everyday Korean real estate conversations. A typical Korean apartment size of "30평" equals approximately 99.17 m² (often marketed as "84㎡ exclusive area" in official listings).
