Gas was the one that surprised me. I assumed everything would be on autopay once the bank account was set, but some buildings still seem to have a very analog rhythm where you get a paper bill, miss a notice, or realize late that one utility was never linked the way you thought. Korea is advanced until one tiny admin lane suddenly is not.
