After just over 1 week of trying to get jobs I have got offered a position in Bundang. I opted for the closest thing to Gangnam and so far don't feel to bad about this position. So is bundang really easy to get to from Gangnam and is it similar to living in the centre of Seoul?

It is a pretty big -gu.

IF you are close to Seohyun or Moran station then it is about a 30 minute bus to Gangnam and about the same by subway.

If you are way down south or near the border with Gwangju then it is a bit of a hassle (2 buses or bus/subway).

Never heard of that school. I used to work in Sunae, though it seems to have changed a bit. It's terrible for nightlife but yeah, on one end of the large plaza you can catch a bus into Seoul. Seohyun is a bit more exciting but Bundang as a whole is "nice" and boring. Fairly family-oriented area.

On the yellow line. 1 stop away from Seohyun station (10 minute walk or 2 minutes on the train) Easy access to Seoul . Decent grocery store. Next to the Tancheon (small river with park that goes all the way to Seoul).

Over-all, a nice place to live.
