Selection of floor plans and other stuff found during my study

I found numerous floorplans by Google searching 방수:4개 (you can change the number, from 1 to 6 bedrooms).
Also by searching apartment name in Korean (I do not speak korean, but I copy apartment names from Panoramio photos found in Google Earth, or from Wikimapia).

Corridor-style floorplans, from 2-bedroom to 4-bedroom.
Set of 4 apartment types, 3-bedroom to 6-bedroom, floorplans.
Set of 8 apartment types, 74 to 154 sqm, floorplans. http://blog.daum.net/little-prince72/103
Another 8 apartment types, from 108 to 314 sqm, floorplans, weird entry corridor.
Daewoo Marina Apartments is showing lots of floorplans, 2-bedroom to 5-bedroom.
Lotte Castle Premier Apartments, 9 unit types ranging from 105 to 238 sqm, floor plans.
Samsung Tower Palace, tallest building in Korea, is showing floorplans too.
A Youtube channel containing lots of videos inside apartments alphabds. Sadly, most apartments are unfurnished or furnished for showcase, I wished to see how koreans actually use each room, but found this one, cluttered with… all people’s stuff!

There are also bigger apartments, usually only 1 block in the complex, 5/6-bedroom, examples:
Hyundai Apt block 76, 41 m long and 14 m wide block segment with two apartments about 270 sqm, according my measurements in Google Earth (possible floor plan http://blog.daum.net/kyasin77/801)
Lotte Castle Premier Apartment, block 110, 238 sqm, floor plan & interior photos.
Imaechon Cheong-gu, bloc 603 & 614, 48 m long and 13.5 m wide, 69 pyong = 238 sqm, http://blog.daum.net/stylings/519

Buyong E-Green Town Apartment, one of my favorites (probably due to nice shape viewed in Google Earth).
Found its blog page and the plan of apartments. Notice that there are 5 apartment types, 3/4/5-bedroom, most have 4 bedrooms, size range 105-215 sqm, try estimate the average size of apartments! It’s huge anyway!
Again, why does koreans need so much space? There may be couples without children, they really need 3-4 bedrooms!?
