About the pyeong
A pyeong is a square kan, 36 square Korean feet. Its present value, 400/121 m² or about 3.3058 m², dates from the Japanese occupation, when Korean units were aligned with Japanese ones. It remains the way many Koreans think about apartment and office size.
South Korea adopted the metric system in 1961, and from 1 July 2007 commercial use of the pyeong became punishable by fines. Listings now give square meters, often with the pyeong figure alongside. To convert, multiply square meters by 0.3025: an 84 m² apartment is about 25.41 pyeong.
