Phone verification was the most stubborn for me because everything looked updated until one app suddenly refused 본인인증. The fix ended up being a carrier branch visit, not immigration or the app company, because the telecom side still had old info sitting somewhere in the chain. Very Korea problem, where the renewal is finished but one invisible dependency is still living in last month.
