Ordering delivery without a Korean account
In 2026 Baemin, the biggest delivery app, opened up to visitors: English menus, non-member orders with an overseas number, and foreign cards. These changes come from press reports — we haven't found Baemin's own notice yet. Coupang Eats and Yogiyo haven't announced anything we could find.
