The challenge most foreigners face
Living in Korea is rewarding
- but full of obstacles
It’s not just the culture shock. It’s navigating housing systems, getting a SIM that actually works, dealing with government forms, and figuring out the basics when no one explains to you!
🧳 No idea where to start when moving into a new place
🏘️ Housing that requires a massive deposit
📶 SIM cards that don’t register without an ARC (Alien Registration Card)
🏦 Opening a Banking Account
📦 Delivery apps that won’t accept foreign payment methods
🧾 Health insurance you didn’t know you were auto-enrolled into
📇 Confusing ARC application or visa extension process
👥 Making Korean friends or building community feels hard
