bundang or pyeongchon?

considering two teaching offers, one in bundang and one in pyeongchon. any opinions/advice on the areas are appreciated! i’m in my 20s, don’t speak korean, and don’t have friends in korea, so i’m looking for somewhere with a decent social scene and fun stuff to do. also walkability and good public transportation are really important to me. overall, if anyone’s lived in either of these places, please let me know what you think!

deciding on pyeongchon or bundang

help! i am reviewing offers in bundang and pyeongchon and can’t decide. they both pay about the same (bundang is 100,000 krw more.) i know that bundang is more expensive but have heard that maybe it might be a little more fun? i’m in the my 20s, don’t speak korean, and don’t have friends in korea so im looking for a place that would be good socially. also walkability and good transit is important to me.
for people living in bundang, does it require more budgeting or are you able to comfortably enjoy the city on a teachers salary? does pyeongchon have a good social scene? honestly any recs and opinions would be great!
