What we get done
If you'd ask a bilingual friend in Korea, ask Toyoni.
Korean concert and event tickets K-pop, concerts, musicals, and shows on Interpark/NOL, YES24, and Melon, and how foreigners actually book them. 
Movie tickets Book CGV, Megabox, and Lotte Cinema seats in Korea without fighting a Korean checkout. Toyoni checks the screening, books eligible seats, and sends the ticket details. 
Food delivery How to order from Baemin, Coupang Eats, and Yogiyo as a foreigner: what they ask you to verify, the phone they need, the tricks that work, and where Toyoni does it for you. 
Pop-up stores Find pop-up stores opening during your Korea trip. Toyoni checks multiple live calendars, verifies the official notice, and helps with eligible reservations. 
Restaurant reservations How to book a restaurant in Korea without a Korean phone number: the CatchTable and Tabling phone and ID step, how to do it yourself, and where Toyoni books for you. Online shopping Coupang, Olive Young, Musinsa, and Kurly all make you prove your Korean ID at checkout. Here's what to do for each, as a foreigner. 
Secondhand & marketplace How to buy used stuff on Korea's resale apps (Karrot and Bunjang), and how foreigners get past the ID check so they can actually buy. 
Trains, buses & taxis Book KTX trains and express or intercity buses, and hail Kakao taxis in Korea as a foreigner. Where Korean ID, phone and card checks stop you, and what to do about it. 
SIM & phone number Korean SIMs and eSIMs for foreigners: what gets you data, what gets you a Korean number you can use to sign up for things, and where each one stops working. 
Banking (setup only) How foreigners actually open a Korean bank account you can use: who is allowed, who gets in, and where Toyoni does the setup for you. 
Everyday essentials Get practical Korean services working when the app, payment screen, or local account stops you. Toyoni handles the Korean-side steps and sends proof. What Korean apps ask for (that you don't have)
Usually one of four things: a Korean ID check, a Korean phone number, Korean-only payment or Korean-only screens.
Korean ID verification (본인인증), explained The ID check behind most Korean signups, and why foreigners get stuck on it. Why Korean apps ask for a phone number in your name Many Korean apps send a code to a Korean phone line registered in your name. Tourist SIMs often fail this step. Here is why. Korean payments: why your Visa keeps getting rejected 3D Secure, UnionPay vs Visa, KakaoPay timeouts, and checkouts that only take Korean cards: the part that breaks last. Region lock and the Korean app store When what stops you is your country, not your ID: app-store region, VPN quirks, and Korean-only apps. Korean-only apps and checkouts The app installs fine and takes your card. But every screen is in Korean, with no English mode. Korea's personal customs code (PCCC) for foreigners Anything shipped to Korea from abroad now needs a personal customs code in the recipient's own name. Orders from Korean stores don't.
