Hannam Village is a high-rise military family housing apartment complex adjacent to Yongsan Army Garrison in Seoul. It's very helpful to bring additional shelving or storage units with shelves suitable for bathrooms, bedrooms, and storage areas. Most Korean apartments lack closets, so bring wardrobes or other means to hang clothes. Bathroom floors are waterproofed and there are no shower curtain rods in some of the old houses. Pressure type shower rods should be included in your household shipments.
