Netizens who saw the post reacted with comments such as "Is it a VIP vehicle?", "I really want to know what kind of person the owner is," "Looks like a car advertisement," "At first glance, it looks like a car showroom," and "It's so natural that it's actually embarrassing."
The piloti (pillar) structure apartment is a design method where the first floor is left mainly with pillars and walls for use as parking lots or other purposes, and the actual living space starts from the second floor and above. In Korea, this design spread after the 2002 mandate for installing parking lots on the first floor of multi-family and multi-household residences.
In particular, piloti-structured parking lots are a form of parking that emerged in many Korean cities where land is limited but houses must be built and parking spaces are required by law. This type of parking lot is often seen in urban villas in Korea. However, unlike villas, piloti-structured apartments use the space as a walkway, so parking like the vehicle shown above can result in a fine.
