"I was working in New York in the typical office, and I just felt a bit trapped in a way. It was suffocating for me," Teng told Business Insider. "And I decided I really wanted to do something that was almost like a challenge for myself."
At the time I didn't know anything about Korea really except for K-Town in New York. And the only thing I knew was that I liked the food, which was pretty much it," Teng said. "I came here on vacation for about a week. I was like, 'all right, it's a vibe.'"
However, Teng, now a freelancer and model, has only been living in her studio - near Mok-dong in the western part of Seoul - since May. Her previous neighborhood had been slated for redevelopment, and she needed a new home.
She knew she wanted an apartment with lots of natural sunlight, preferably in a newer building, and definitely near a subway line."
