In Brief

In Seoul's Daechi-dong district, known for its high concentration of cram schools, parents are renting or converting campers into mobile rest areas for children between classes. The reason is high rental prices and difficulty finding long-term housing.

In the Daechi-dong district of Seoul, known for its high concentration of private tutoring centers (cram schools), parents have begun using campers (motorhomes) as temporary rest zones for their children between classes. The vehicles are equipped with beds and kitchens, allowing children to sleep and parents to prepare meals.

According to sources, some parents rent or convert vehicles so that children can rest between lessons. This is driven by high rental prices in the area: during peak season, rent can reach 2.6 million won per month. Some parents consider using campers economically advantageous despite potential parking fines. The phenomenon occurs against a backdrop of intense educational competition and difficulties in securing long-term rentals.
