One year later, in 2025, Korea will enter a super-aging society, with the proportion of the elderly population exceeding 25%.

Through the eyes of Mrs. An Jong-nim, the eldest son of Buan, Jeollabuk-do, her worried late son, and the grandfather models who are living a wonderful life, we look for a living space where one can live safely, not lonely, and lively.

Permanent rental apartments in Cheongju, where residents can look into the elderly living alone through a ‘laundry service,’ a ‘service-providing senior citizen housing’ built alongside a student dormitory by a Japanese university, and the government giving bonuses to those who move to a smaller house as they age. We covered the Singapore case.

Breaking away from the dichotomous framework of a home and a nursing home, we consider what type of housing is possible for even low-income and middle-class people to live comfortably, and how to fill in the blind spots in policy.
