TBC.
7. Local SIMs
Options include (source) SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ for e-sim and KT for physical SIM. LG U+ claims the best coverage though there's not much in it.
SIMs with local voice and SMS are only available physically. Klook can book a physical SIM for collection at any of the Seoul airports or a data-only eSIM in advance by email.
LG U+ "unlimited" data has a 3GB daily cap, after which it slows to 5Mbps and resets at midnight.
