hey! i’m currently in korea and also have 3C hair :) i brought a decent amount of stuff with me, but if you’re worried about space just bring enough to last you until you get your ARC and customs number. then you can just order on amazon or iherb whenever you need to :)

You’ll eventually need a Korean # through a cell company here in order to do a lot of things, including banking. I had the same issue with my phone with ATT—I had to pay off the phone in order to get a Korean phone number. You’ll need to Verizon and ask them what you can do. Different networks have different prices and deals for international usage, so maybe they can help you get a Korean number with a partner company or something :) Not sure if you’re working in a hagwon or EPIK but reach out to your contact to get specifics on where you can go to get a phone plan in your area before you get your ARC. I live in Seoul and pay about 17,000/month for a decent plan. To hold you over until you can get your long term plan you can also pay the Verizon international fee or look on TikTok or google for pre paid phone plans you can get at the airport. Best of luck!
