A pyeong is 3.03 square meters. So you've got 48.48 square meters.

edit: That means you've got almost 160 square feet. I think you'll be ok. Wink

One pyeong is equal to the size of the apartment I had at Kid's Club.
16 pyeong, by comparisson, is a castle.
You and your girlfriend should be okay.

Just moved into a shared apartment thats 16 pyong (or pyeong or pyung) and its not that bad if you dont have much furniture, its essentially a small studio.
