This video critically examines the drawbacks of apartment living in South Korea, particularly focusing on urban loneliness due to a lack of communal spaces and limited neighbor interactions.

The concept of "thresholds," which can either facilitate connections or worsen isolation, is highlighted. The video emphasizes how these issues impact housing culture and sustainability, suggesting solutions such as creating shared ground-floor spaces and optimizing window orientation.

The video prompts viewers to consider their living environment's influence on well-being and advocates for proactive efforts to enhance social connections and transform apartment living positively.
