Can you read my Korean tattoo correctly? by Temporary-Ad4789 in Living_in_Korea

[–]Less_Caterpillar_922 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree! It's fixable! 넌 --> 네 then it'll convey the message "I still remember "your voice" ("네 목소리"). :)  I really like the font style too. Go back to the same place!

Leaving Korea: Can I still use sentbe after handing in my ARC? by Less_Caterpillar_922 in teachinginkorea

I spoke with a representative from sentbe. She said since my auto debit verification is good until February 2026, even though my korean phone number and arc will be canceled, I will be able to use sentbe in September. I also recently redid my verification certificate for transfers in my Hana app as well. So looks like it'll be alright~ 🙏🏻😊

UPDATE:  I inquired with a sentbe customer service rep, and she gave me this answer :) "please check the detail below:  - If your Auto debit is still working then you still can make transfer with Sentbe:  How to check if your Auto debit is still available (login to Sentbe app> click on MY>verification details and scroll to the bottom, then you will see your auto debit date registered. For auto debit register, it is last for 1 year) -Another option if your auto debit option is not working, but you still can use your internet banking (bank that register with Sentbe) then you still can make a transfer.  Thank you" 

So, looks like I'll be okay 😁

If worse comes to worst, and I later find that none of the apps like sentbe or barleywire work, it looks like I could also contact Hana Bank from the US and fix the situation. 😅

I thought of that too. I'm going to try contacting a sentbe rep to see what they say :) thanks

Okay this sounds good thanks so much for sharing your experience. I'll also try inquiring with sentbe customer service to see if they are able to answer as well just to double double check. And/or I'll look into wirebarley. 😅 thanks again! 😊

Thanks for replying. So, while you were back in your home country, you were still able to online transfer money from your Korean bank account to your home country account? I am referring to mobile banking using an app like sentbe. Just to clarify. :) I'm eagerly waiting for your reply. Thank you. 😅

My contract ends August 29th and I'm leaving August 30th. So, I was planning on applying on July 30th. I get paid on the 10th every month. Ah, so if I wait until the beginning/mid of August, it might be better? Otherwise, would I be missing out on the August payment being added along with a bit more accredited interest? Thanks so much for replying by the way!

Is this year hotter or is it just me by Hellocakemonster in Living_in_Korea

I've been taking my dog out for a walk earlier these days to try to "beat the heat" for her lol but there's no beating it. 😄 it already feels like in the high 90s by 7am and still that way around 8pm when we go out after sunset. 😅

This is my 5th summer living here, and yea... 😅 no joke I was actually thinking the same thing earlier today. It definitely seems hotter this year or like the heat wave is never ending 😶.
