My First Korean Credit Card


This story is a little embarrassing, so I haven't really told anyone about it. A few years ago, I wanted to get a charge card in Korea. It's kind of inconvenient to pay cash for everything.
So, I went down to Woori Bank (because I had an account with them) and applied for a card.

There are a lot of different cards to choose from in Korea.
The bank teller asked me a few questions and I answered.

What do you usually buy?

"Usually, online shopping or I go to E-Mart and other supermarkets."

Do you have car?

"No. I don't drive in Korea."

What do you do for entertainment?

"Sometimes I'll go to the movies or watch a performance."

Do you go to restaurants?

"Yes, about once or twice a week. I'll have a nice dinner."

Okay. Just fill out this application. We have the perfect card for you.

"Thank you."

After a few days, I received this....




Drum roll please.










WTH? LOL Are there any other men in Korea that have this card? Just curious.

Currently, I have an Asiana Samsung Card. My Mi-in card stays at home.

This story is so funny. ㅋㅋㅋ
I haven't seen the Mi-in card before. The bank teller seems to be kind of a practical joker.
