I am currently a full-time student at Yonsei's KLI and living on my own in a studio apartment next to Ewha, in Daehyun dong. I can say that my rent is W500,000 a month, though there was also a relatively hefty key deposit involved. However, there are a number of hasooks right in my neighborhood, some of which are more like studio apartments and cost the same as my place, albeit without the key deposit or lease obligation. There are also hasooks up the wazoo just off the main road in Shinchon, on the way to Yonsei.

As for paying expenses, I work about 15 hours a week at a hagwon and tutoring. It is easier for me, with an F4, though I know plenty of plenty of people with C4 student visas who are doing exactly the same thing as me. I tried working full-time, but wasn't able to maintain the pace. This way is much more manageable.

PM if you need any more info or advice.

Here is the website for their program:

Unfortunately they don't seem very responsive; I've e-mailed them a couple of times and they haven't replied. You might have to get a Korean friend to phone them and get some concrete and up to date answers.
