5 apps that are essential in Korea : There can be a lot of uncomfortable things when you live in a foreign country at first. But I need to adjust quickly and have a fun study abroad. So this time, I’ll introduce you to five apps that will help you!!

5 apps that are essential in Korea

The first [Kakao Map]!!
You can set it in English other than Korean on the app!! You can see the arrival time of the train, transfer walking time, and how many minutes you have to walk from the exit to the destination by looking at the Kakao Map!! And personally, I think the biggest help is that I can get the train door number where I can get off quickly!Hahaha

Introduction of key functions

Share Talk Friend Location
A function that allows you to share and check the current location, real-time location for a certain period of time, and destination movement path with Kakao Talk friends on Kakao Map.
Theme map
It makes place data into content and provides it with a good look good.
an ultra-precise bus
Originally, it was provided only in Jeju Island, but now it is expanded to provide Jeju, Seogwipo, Chuncheon, Ulsan, Mokpo, Busan, and Gwangju. A real-time service that shows the bus icon moving on the map and the current location and approximate speed of the bus every 10 seconds.

Second [Kakao Talk]!!
Kakao Talk is a must to contact Korean people! Of course, there are people who texted me, but most of them contact me through Kakao Talk, and sometimes when I sign up for a Korean site, it’s faster and more convenient to sign up with Kakao Talk!! And if you have a variety of emoticons on Kakao Talk and want to use 500,000 emoticons without limit, sign up for Emoji Plus and it’s 6,900 won per month!

Third! [Kakao Pay]!!
Kakao Pay can be connected to Kakao Talk! If you connect, you can get money or money from friends added to Kakao Talk! When you go to eat with your friends, you can pay with Kakao Pay and send money! It’s a very useful app for n-bang. Hahaha
Not only this, but you can also use it for shopping. If there is a sign that Kakao Pay is available at stores such as E-Mart or Olive Young, you can pay with Kakao Pay right away! Sometimes you can get a discount or more points if you pay with Kakao Pay!!

Fourth, [CASHMALLOW]!!
In order to live abroad, we need to pay living expenses, tuition, and spend a lot of money, but it’s very annoying to look for ATM every time. CASHMALOW is money GET!✅ You need to authenticate yourself when you sign up for membership, and you can use it right away without authentication after that if you submit the necessary documents just once! You can check the exchange rate in real time and receive the deposit in 30 minutes during normal business hours! The fee is about 1,600 won every time, but it’s very comfortable and cheap!!

Fifth. [The Health Insurance]
All of our international students need to get national insuranceYou can check the deadline and amount of insurance payment on the app. And you can get a medical checkup for free, but if you’re the target, you can use the app to check if you’re the target, and if you’re the target, you can find the examination institution right away and make a reservation! You can also see the examination results on the app.

Do you know about four major insurances policies in Korea?

Have you ever heard of the word "four major insurances"?If you've watched news and TV a lot while living in Korea, you've probably heard it at least once. But what's the big four insurance policies? Does it matter to foreigners?I'll tell you more about the four major insurances today. What are the four major insurances? Korea's four major insurances refer to all four insurances directly managed by the government to ensure a stable economic life for the people from social risks. In Korea, people with income, companies, and institutions are required to pay four major insurances! It's a mandatory subscription insurance that all workers must sign up for, regardless of whether they are interns, non-regular workers, or regular workers!Foreigners also have to pay four major insurances if they work for a Korean company! When you look at job postings on recruitment sites, there are often the same conditions as "four major insurances included." Some companies offer four major insurances instead, or some companies have such conditions, such as 50%. What are the four major insurances? The four major insurances include national pension, national health insurance, employment insurance, and industrial accident compensation insurance. In the case of international students, if they live in Korea for more than six months, they are obligated to pay national health insurance every month. If you get a job in Korea, you have to pay the national pension, employment insurance, and industrial accident compensation insurance in addition to the national health insurance. Then what kind of benefits do you think each insurance provides? The four major insurances don't usually get any benefits right away, but they can get benefits depending on the conditions of the insurance the national pension The National Pension Service pays 4.5% of its monthly salary as an insurance premium almost every year. The national pension, which is later paid for retirement, is a system created in preparation for not being able to work if a worker retires after a certain age. In other words, when you retire later, you have the amount you can get every month, and that amount will be returned to the National Pension Service we paid for! employment insurance It is a system created for...
