noun Delivery. Anything, anywhere, usually within thirty minutes, often at two in the morning.
것What it is
Delivery, and in Korea it means anything at any hour. Baemin, the largest app, says foreign visitors can order without a Korean number: sign up with a Korean phone and residence number, or skip sign-up and verify by text to an overseas number. Its merchant guide lists overseas credit cards, Alipay and WeChat Pay as accepted payments.
하는 법How to do it
Set the address with the building name and add the Korean line for the door. There is no tipping; the delivery fee is shown before you order.
