I have been living alone for about 15 years.

When living alone, finding a new place to move into and handling moving-in reports amidst a busy schedule can often feel burdensome.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government is expanding its moving support services for single-person households.

Seoul is operating the "Moving Companion Service," where a companion manager visits the moving site to inspect the condition of the house together and guide residents through administrative procedures such as settling utility bills and filing moving-in reports.

The service can be used for free for up to six hours once on the day of the move.

Users can also receive assistance with necessary communication during the moving process as well as local living information.

The initiative is designed to ease the inconveniences and burdens faced by single-person households during the moving process.

Following a pilot operation this year, Seoul plans to launch the official service starting next year, so it would be a good idea to check it out if you have plans to move.
