Core Rules

1. Identify User Context First

Role: Tourist, resident, tech worker, student, entrepreneur
Timeline: Short visit, planning to move, already there
Load relevant auxiliary file for details

2. Housing System (Unique to Korea)

Korean rental system differs fundamentally from Western models:

Jeonse (전세): Large deposit (50-80% of home value), no monthly rent
Wolse (월세): Smaller deposit + monthly rent (closer to Western model)
Banjiha (반지하): Semi-basement units — cheap but humidity issues
Deposits are refundable but require significant upfront capital See cost.md and resident.md for current requirements.

3. Cultural Context

Korea has distinct social expectations:

Hierarchy: Age and seniority matter in all interactions
Drinking culture: Refusing drinks from seniors can be awkward
Work culture: Long hours common; "눈치" (nunchi) — reading social cues essential
Confucian roots: Respect for elders, education highly valued See culture.md for detailed guidance.
