After moving in Korea, how did you update your ARC address with the least amount of pain?

I feel like this is one of those things that sounds simple until you are holding a contract, trying to figure out which office matters, and hearing three different versions of the rule. If you changed apartments in Korea, what was the smoothest way to handle the address update? Resident center, immigration, online, or just bringing everything in person and hoping it got done properly? Also curious if anyone fixed it late and whether it was just awkward or actually a real problem.

If you have a normal housing contract, the 주민센터 route is usually the least dramatic because you can handle the move-in report and address update together instead of bouncing between offices. The real Korea-specific headache is not the filing itself, it is forgetting to update the same address with your bank, phone carrier, and any apps that do identity checks later. Late update is where it starts becoming more than awkward, so I would not let it sit.
