'# Baedal Minjok (delivery app): Apple Pay + International Card Payments Fully Introduced
Baedal Minjok officially started supporting Apple Pay payments with internationally issued credit cards like Visa, Mastercard, JCB, and American Express from June 2, 2026. Before, you could only use Apple Pay with cards issued in Korea, but thanks to this update, you can now complete your Baemin payments in just one second with your iPhone, without any complicated verification steps.
'# Coupang Eats: Perfect English UI and Direct International Card Registration
If you're worried about language barriers, Coupang Eats is the answer. If you change the language to English in the app settings, you can easily check categories and even detailed menus for each store in English. What's even more surprising is that they added a feature to directly register international cards as a payment method within the app from late July 2025. You no longer need to borrow a Korean friend's ID for a 'proxy order'.
You can sign up with email, but I recommend using a tourist SIM (number) that can receive calls in Korea for essential communication with the delivery rider. Registering international cards works without any issues.
'# Breaking Down Communication Barriers: Use Papago for Detailed Requests!
For Baemin, menu translations might not be perfect yet. When that happens, you can actively use Naver's image translation app, 'Papago'.
"맵지 않게 해주세요(Please make it less spicy)"
"치킨무 많이 주세요(Please give me extra pickled radish)" If you translate detailed requests like these with Papago and paste them in Korean, you can completely prevent communication errors with the rider and restaurant owner.
'# Top 3 Delivery Menus Foreign Travelers Love Most
Among countless menus, here are the delivery foods that foreign travelers are most satisfied with.
Number 1 is definitely 'Sun-sal Banban Chikin (Boneless Half & Half Fried Chicken)'. Many people aren't used to eating chicken off the bone, so the boneless option is a must.
Number 2 is the classic K-drama combo, 'Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) Set'.
Number 3 is the sweet and creamy 'Rose Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes)'. If you just recommend these three, you can't go wrong.
