I'm planning to move to Seoul for work, and honestly, the rental process seems really different from what I'm used to.

I鈥檝e heard of Craigslist and local realtors, but most listings are either in Korean or hard to verify. Are there any platforms, apps, or strategies you'd recommend for someone who doesn鈥檛 speak Korean?

Bonus if you鈥檝e found anything that helps avoid scams or overpriced listings.

Zigbang(歆侂癌) and Dabang(雼る癌) are probably the most popular web, but even with Google Translate on the website, they can still be kinda tricky to use.

From what I鈥檝e seen, Naver budongsan(雱れ澊氩� 攵€霃欖偘) is easier to get around.

One of my friends, an international student in Korea, told me they just found their place through foreignerhome website.
