What actually worked for you when updating your address after moving in Korea?

I just moved and I am getting three different answers about what needs to be updated first. Some people say the 주민센터 is enough, some say do HiKorea right away, and someone else told me the bank app can start failing if the address on file does not match for too long. If you did this recently, what order did you do everything in? Mostly trying to avoid the annoying version where one small admin task turns into five.

The cleanest version is still doing the government-side address update first, then checking the places that keep their own records instead of assuming the systems talk to each other. In Korea that often means immigration or 주민센터 first, then bank, delivery apps, telecom, and anything tied to identity verification. The official move can be quick, but the private-sector lag is where the weird problems start.
