I could've called someone, but to save the service fee I decided to install one myself, a bidet I'd ordered from AliExpress for about 60,000 won.</p> <h2 id="removing-the-existing-toilet-seat">Removing the existing toilet seat</h2> <p>First I took off the plain toilet seat that was already there.

I'd never done plumbing work before, so I was a little nervous, but figured I'd just dive in.</p>
