Is it enough to cover my life expenses in Seoul with part-time job paid 20 000 krw per hour?

I've run into one job vacancy ad...it seems interesting and not so complicated. I want to apply, so now I'm gathering information. I love Korea very much, I know a lot about the country, it's economy, but still...I want someone who live or lived in Seoul to help me with this closely.

Update:

I can't understand why this app hasn't option to reply to other persons answers but...

Lets say that I will work half of the normal work time, that means 4 hours per day...that would be 20 hours per week or 400 000 KRW per month or over 1.5 mil. KRW per month...I would rather choose already settled apartment other than buying my furniture or send my things from home. That would not be an option.

    Well since it's part-time, that normally well under 40 hours a week. Probably a lot less depending on the job. 20,000 KRW is equal to around 17USD or in your case 979INR. You'd have to find out how many hours you'd be working, figure out much you'd get each month. Then start taking out your expenses like, Rent, food, utilities, cell phone plan, transportation, etc.. You'd also have to send all of your things to Korea. Or buy furniture and all that stuff whilst being there.. All in all you have to figure all this stuff out before I can tell you if it will cover all your living expenses.
