What small Korea admin thing caused you the most stupid problems at first?

Mine has been realizing that if my name, phone number, bank info, and ARC details aren’t matched exactly the same way, random apps start acting broken for no obvious reason. What was the version of this that got you? Identity verification, delivery apps, trash rules, online payments, address format, anything like that. I feel like these tiny daily-life mistakes eat way more time than the big stuff.

Mine was address formatting. I thought once the building was correct, the rest would be flexible, but Korea is very not flexible about this. One service wanted the road name address, another matched against the jibun version, and one card delivery failed because the unit number was entered in a different style. After that I started copying the exact address string from Kakao Map or the contract and reusing it everywhere instead of typing it from memory.
