배달 (baedal) means Korea’s hyper-developed delivery system, via Baemin, Coupang Eats, Yogiyo, and more.
Why it’s so strong
Urban density, late work hours, excellent apps, tight logistics. Even convenience stores sometimes deliver.
Etiquette
Write floor/buzzer clearly. “Leave at the door” is common. A short thank-you note is enough.
